Hi Simon, are you going to be at Derby?

going to be at Derby

More than likely playing in the FoG. Probably not going to have a show presence to sell. I can take stuff along to see (and/or collect)

thanks

Simon

Thanks, I'm going to want some fields, are they always the same, or do they come with variations?

always the same

they should be the same (all following the same procedure)... they are hand made so there may be some slight variation. I wouldn't expect much though

Thanks Simon.

Cool webshop. I noticed you can unsubscribe from the newsletter, but where do you subscribe?
Also there are items to be found on the site map which are not on the navigation bar.

but where do you subscribe

When you create a login you get added to the newsletter by default.

the idea of a newsletter seemed like a good idea at the time !

thanks

Putting bold around the link disabled the link I think. This also has the url;/url code which enables it. Just for lazy browsers like me.

The vineyard terrain seems out of scale.
Vines were trained in the gobelet/bush vine manner, where the vines was at most 0.5 meter high (with perhaps a stake supporting young vines). The vines then grew from the head in a array outward - forming a bowl or goblet shape. At most these would reach 1 meter height in total. See the following pictures for context:

Note that no additional structures/ropes/trellis were provided. Each vine stood apart. This technique was used throughout the Mediterranean Sea area

"Spur pruning is commonly used on free-standing vines such as those trained in the Gobelet style (as seen in photo) – common throughout much of Southern France. The vine trunks are maintained very short so that there is little more than ½ metre of the vine above ground level, it resembles miniature aged wooden shrubs after pruning and looks rather bush-like during the growing cycle, giving rise to the term ‘bush vines’. Surveying the high-density plantings of sites in parts of Burgundy after pruning can make for an eerie landscape view, as a sea of tiny gnarled stumps across the expansive gently undulating vineyards stretches out before you"

Nice looking terrain

One small point about your web store, which a lot of new producers fall foul of - you are currently breaking the distance selling regulations for the EU.

You MUST supply an address on the website and you must also have a returns policy clearly stated.

If you look at our webshop, you can see the kind of wording you have to use.

According to me the photo of vineyard looks like a plantation and the photo of plantation like a vineyard.

We did consider reversing the two types. It would absolutely valid to play with them in reverse, with an olive tree plantation and immature vines. it was really based on more contemporary sources. Definitions of latifundia in roman times are diverse. I think the main driver for us was to make just look different to help within the game.

thanks

Great looking stuff
I custom made some stuff similar. Now I don't have to make more when I need more
