The vine is still growing well - it seems to be enjoying the sunshine and I watered it a bit the other day.
Something very exciting has started to happen over the past two weeks; tiny little bunches of grapes have start to form all over the vine. It's kind of strange that I'm surprised by this - I guess I just expected the grapes just to appear! How wrong I was! In the photo I have tried to capture a couple of these mini bunches of grapes. Bear in mind that they are very small, about the size of your thumbnail. Just in case it's not very clear there is a bunch in focus in the middle and below and to the right there is another bunch which is slightly out of focus...
Next week on Friday vine check I will check for signs of pests and see if I can catch any of them hard at work...then I shall punish them

I think you deserve to be knighted an honorary Greek-Cypriot! Your vine growing is very impressive.
My father has vines in his orchards in Cyprus, his father had vines, and his father's father had vines (and in fact made wine from his vines)
This one little vine could be the start of generations of possibilites...!
