Wine news 2

In case you thought we'd stopped wine making,  no!   15 litres of pear wine settling, 25 of the first fig brew settling and 2  more similar amounts of fig on the go.  Smells very yeasty in the kitchen!  

 Until the day before yesterday there was a huge fig tree overhanging one end of Montenegro's water deposit.  Someone has chopped it right back to the base, lost all this years fruit and it wasn't theirs to chop.  We are assuming that they thought  a) either the fruit would drop over the exit tap and block it (but it's been there for umpteen years so why now?)  or b) he  just had one of those days and decided it was in the way.   I'm sure all will become clear soon, only a few people were around watering that day - one morning when we went for a walk it was laden, the next morning it was cut off and dumped in the brambles.  What a shame.
