    My vineyard!

    So last weekend I went to my bug-out land and had 200 Cabernet Sauvignon grape plants planted! it took up about a quarter of an acre, and costed me less than two ounces of gold. Good thing is though in a few years I'll be able to produce about 2000 bottles of hopefully premium red wine... I'll try and post a picture!

    Those don't look like women from the French Savoy?

    I can bring in women similar to that for the crushing of the grapes, but they may not be fluent in French. First batch expected in autumn 2015, but optimum production probably around 2018-20, if we're still around then!

    Thanks Horn, I never knew how to do that either.

    This is in Turkey. I moved back to Sweden this summer, but from September onwards I spend 2/3rds of my time in Turkey, working, and making winery, while wife and children are in Sweden most of the time. Children get better education free of charge. Wife translates books w/o me disturbing her, and I get to spend more quality time with my family, and I can go more often to my bug-out land the weekends I am in Turkey to improve it... Usually my schedule is 2 workweeks with a weekend in between in Turkey and two weekends with a workweek in between in Sweden... I'll tweak it for school holidays in Sweden and public holidays in Turkey though (when many of my patients are gone anyway)...

    It is beautiful, let me see if I can post a photo of my house... I always feel more alive when I go there! There is such a clarity, and bright colors there. No artificial noises either, apart from the odd airplane passing by.
