We are reaching the end of harvest here at Yealands and all the grapes have been taken into the winery. May 3rd will be our end-of-vintage party, and the winemakers will let us know who will end work and who will be kept for another few weeks to help out. Either way, I think I'd be happy with whatever decision they make. I've continued my 12 hour nightshifts, and today is my first day off in about 10 days. I filled out my time card yesterday morning after my shift, and I've worked 151 hours these past 2 weeks! I'm definitely looking forward to that paycheck:) It's very fun on the nightshift though, and we have lots of social events. Lately we celebrated the 21st birthday of another employee with a party full of delicious food, as well as had an Easter Egg hunt this past Sunday. Here are some photos from this past month of work. Also below is a link to a video the winery put together of all the nightshift workers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYzfUzClM3E&feature=youtu.be
