"The House"

Australia

"The trees retained their leaves, and shed their bark instead, the swans were black, the eagles white, the bees were stingless, some mammals had pockets, others laid eggs, it was warmest on the hills and coolest in the valleys, even the blackberries were red."
J Martin 1830s

Hunter Valley


We finally realised Howard's dream to visit the Hunter Valley and some of its vineyards. We selected the vineyards based on strict criteria the most important of which was having a children's playground. Having spent the weekend flogging himself on-call, Howard was in the mood for kicking back and spoiling himself.

Obviously the kids wanted to join in, but the staff didn't always appreciate Evan's snorting and spitting techniques. Carys was able to redesign some of the tasting notes using her crayons, she did an especially good job with the Wyndham's logo. All in all it was successful trip, and we were able to leave of our own accord with some very quaffable wine.
