After the engine is slowly come, and of course the older people have done it hard. They have been at all involved with the ox, the farmer can see that at all because they are there on the street it with motor cycling and riding with cycling, and there with the horse. Often they were very angry with a stick, at the very beginning. But after everything is gone. - - - Yes, yes, we then have the primitive life, and instead are using the ox - can remember many times - drove on Mendel, up there. And up there are mountain meadows, which has leased it in August and has camped above, the whole family. And is one month stayed up not on the Mendel, of the Mendel Pass, da. That was nice. Like half a gypsy life, but wait - but if once the hay was gone, you have a chat and bissel - and kept a little summer resort, hates her name. Summer. The last wine they have been open on top. A barrel of wine. And then they turned back home. So by Jacobson to - this is so around the 25th July - to Bartlmä, which is 24 August, so about. That was a month almost, they stay up. With all cattle, and all they have mitgehabt. And now and then she had to go down again to get something, a food they have had so above. A meadow. Then they are down with food, then have something brought up a supply of wine and what it took. Then they had themselves grown a little wheat, barley and corn and potatoes before, and then they have taken everything. And up they then slept in the tent - a tent, not a cabin - now there's not a tent anymore. But sleeping under the tent. About ten, twelve .. ten, twelve people have often slept under there. So it was not very romantic. Sometimes a storm comes, it has sometimes flashed on, and taken even further away and so on. But wait, yes - this one just has participated in childhood. - - - Until one has to give up. This is then .. that's never gone after. Because - with the cattle you can not exist on the street, then she loved - have already been vehicles .. Tractors and such, they have introduced, and then it is with the cattle - has that been done. As I said - the early 60s and then it's been out. - - - And then the modern wine has come, as we have today. Only the quality has played a role, and then the automatic - everything is different. The vineyard has been modernized and with the help of irrigation, he has been so classified. Everything was natural. So how come the weather is dry or wet, so good, the wine must also survive it. Who have .. it was either too wet or too dry. And today, if today it is too dry - before it is already dry, sprinkle it already. Today, they have drip irrigation, do not you see yes, everything is different. These are all - what I say - that differences. Because if I do today would have wine, then I would have to make a school. Yes, that's never like there used to be. And each farmer had his wine barrels - say "Lebsbatzn" wine barrels in the cellar. I still have old wooden barrels below. If you wish to visit .. But every wine made. And containing a light wine, which has - which is the second time on the grains were again brought to ferment with a small amount of sugar and mash it, and was then filled with water, and has everything fermented again. Then it was a lovely wine to drink during the work. A "Leb" man was called that. A Lebs! - - - Yes.
