"Old Farm Food Shop closed down.

This Winoteka opened at the end of June 2026 in the heatwave. The manager is having difficulty with Gglmps and Facebook. His son is building up socials but is a pilot and away most of the time.

Nice place to relax by the way. Wine, fruit wines and cheese.

"At the end of a track off the 'main road' by the river. Past a pretty new small church.
Must buy tickets online but gets stuck at payment stage ...error! Useless app in the middle of nowhere.... all to stop corruption/backsheesh I expect. Long complicated process to buy online. Meanwhile taxi fare goes up.... all the locals, security and taxi driver having a good chat. Flies bothering us too... after fifteen minutes of two failures online (two of us tried independently) the guardian decided we could pay in cash but wanted 110 each (10 commission). We declined as he could have just pocketed the lot as no ticket or receipt. Maybe he shared it with the others? We were shown round the small cliffside complex to three tombs in all, I presume that was it. We left the site within 32 minutes of arriving. "
