And one year older than I. Apparently - and I had to go Googlling for
this - she planted her first vineyard when she was 18. Not bad, eh?

I had my first vinyard when I was ten - I didn't plant it: when we moved
into a new and much bigger house and garden I was allotted a patch and a
potting-shed. On the patch (which I later found had hosted a greenhouse)
and weaving through the laurel hedge I discovered a vine - probably
Black Hamburg - and one of my first actions when the crop was good
enough (I was about thirteen then) was to make a quantity of wine.

It was surprisingly good for a non-winemolishing grape.
