Lady Astor and the Delta cooperative

I was happy with what I had learned about Delta and the museum, the wines and the Solms family and was already drafting the article in my mind, when Mark explained his plans for the farm. It turned out he had partners, none other than the Astor family, one of whom had been the first female member of parliament in Westminster and had told Winston Churchill that he was drunk and, if she were his wife, she would poison his tea. Mark then explained that between the two families, they were forming a cooperative with the Wijn de Caab Trust which representing Delta’s workers and their families. From all this you'll understand the fascination of freelance journalism and writing in general.
