Ramsbury Estate beats Russia and the US to win top vodka prize
North-east Wiltshire had just been crowned the UK’s vodka capital, and one of the best vodka-making regions in the world.

“Our English Horatio wheat is planted by an Englishman and a Welshman. It’s cut by a German combine-harvester driven by a Welshman and then loaded into a French-built trailer pulled by a German tractor driven by a South African and then handed over to the head distiller who is Hungarian, Horvath Tibor, who took over from an Indian distiller, Dhiraj Pujari, who makes the English vodka using German equipment bought by the Swedish owner, Stefan Persson whose father Erling founded H&M (Hennes & Mauritz) fashion. How about that for globalisation!”

Thames Valley Archaeological Services unearths Bronze Age and Iron Age settlements at Greenham dig
Also evidence of Roman remains
Geraldine Gardner );
ARCHAEOLOGISTS working at a housing development in Newbury have uncovered Bronze and Iron Age items.
The finds, at the site off New Road, Greenham, provide evidence of a small settlement on the land.
The team has also uncovered what is thought to be a skeleton and flagon from Roman times during the dig taking place opposite St Mary’s Church.
A group from Thames Valley Archaeological Services (TVAS) has been brought in to check the area for any ancient finds and work out whether there were any dwellings on the site.
