I still have the label that came with the vine, one of those names that you can only find someone else asking if anyone else has heard about it! Vroege van der Laan, it sounds Dutch, I just googled and found a lot of mention now but most in Holland and Belgium. It's too cold to grow grapes outside well here, it does seem strange that your area grows them, but your summers are probably more reliable. There are some vinyards here, Lincoln has one somewhere belonging to the Castle but I can't find anything about it. I did find a 'tour' of Lincoln, continue to other pages at the bottom, the last has the only Roman Arch in Britain which has traffic going under it.

That's a lot of snow weight on the roof, I guess it would be dangerous to leave it on?

Here is one of my beautiful Queen wasps, there was two and they both make a quick escape when I came, but this one got used to me. It had very unusual markings.
