It has been a while....but I have been busy working without any access to the worldwideweb. Yes, working. Just after my last blog entry, I found a job for a local winery. The job was mainly cutting grapes from the vines which - I know - does not sound too interesting. But I enjoyed it a lot. I loved the work outside, the great landscape around me and the friendly/funny/interesting people that I was sourrounded by.

I still do not know how I deserved to meet Pete on my very first day at work, who, ever since then, took good care of me and helped me with whatever a small german travelling girl might need. His names for me varied from 'Missy' over 'shortstuff' to 'sweet' but they were all coming from his unbelievably big heart. We had a lot of fun 'schnippeling' (cutting grapes) together, talking about friends, family, relationships and glibbery frog-like creatures riding on beautiful black swans with one eye on a pink-coloured lake somewhere in a galaxy far away from ours....

As you see...I am having a good time here. I am quitting work today to go travelling for 2 weeks with my friend Katie, who I met in Cambodia.
