Fellow Wine Lovers,
We’ve found ourselves wondering this week if the dramatic fall in the oil price was due to persistent rumours that Google is secretly developing a reindeer powered spacecraft. The rumours arrived in our in-box after discovering that, to visit all the children in the world tonight, Santa and his reindeer-powered sleigh will be travelling at an average speed of 4,680,000 mph. Clearly to achieve that speed with only carrots, mince pies and sherry is some feat and we can understand Googles interest.
To be honest we’re amazed Santa’s beard is so presentable in his photographs, we would have thought those kind of speeds would guarantee a more backcombed/beehive look!
We have been unable to ascertain if that speed allows for toilet stops or if there is some onboard arrangement, we do hope so!
We would also like to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas.
We’re here until 5pm today and then back again at 11am on the Monday 29th for the final push towards January.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Wayne & Alex
