First of all, I just want to apologise to all of you for being so slack with my blog. In my defense, I haven't really done anything that is blog worthy. I mean, you don't really want to read about my trials and tribulations of work on a daily basis... or do you?? :)
OK, enough of the sorry nonsense. On with the story... This weekend my senior editor Ros organised a bit of a wine tasting do down in Kent. Unfortunately the weather wasn't that crash hot, but was still a very enjoyable day. We took a train down to a place called Paddock Wood, where we were picked up and shuttled to Goudhurst, where Ros lives. The name of her house.... Old School Cottage. How awesome is that? We dropped off some food and then ventured to Chapel Down Winery in Tenterden, Kent. I'm no wine connoisseur, but their whites and sparkling wines were very tasty. Reds not so much so. Ended up buying a few bottles of white. As I was walking out, I saw out of the corner of my eye the vodka section. Now I love my vodka, and have had a few varieties in my time. I can now safely say that I have found the best vodka I've ever had. Toffee vodka... amazing stuff! So much so there was no way I was walking out of there without a bottle. I would have bought 2 but one of the guys from work wanted one, and I couldn't be that selfish. We then had a walk around the vineyard, which was great. As the weather was a little dodgy, it was fairly muddy so we didn't go too far.
Once we were finished we headed back to Goudhurst to drop off our purchases, and then headed back into Goudhurst village for a few pints at the local pub. On the way there we walked through the old church yard, which was very dramatic. Old cemetary plots around the church, dating back to 1700s. I only managed to snap of a few photos here as my battery ran out. Poor form on my behalf! After 3 or 4 pints we then headed back to Ros's house for a delicious dinner, and a few (too many) wines and vodka shots. By this time it was teaming with rain. Now I apologise for the lack of photos, but as I said earlier, I ran out of battery.
