Hunter Valley

A weekend away in the huge Hunter Valley wine-making area, with Andrew from Rory's work and his girlfriend Michelle. Poor Mr Bump had to stay at home so we had to go by toot-toot tour bus instead.



Got of to a flying start on the first day by thoroughly exploiting the free wine-tasting at a whole bunch of wineries. In between we raided a cheese place for lunch, had a little tour of a winery and rounded it off with a visit to the Blue Tongue Brewery to settle everything down with a nice beer.

A slow start on Sunday soon kicked into gear with a session of hitting golf balls into a lake in a bid to win prizes. Sadly Caz's muscles are still recovering from this 'exercise'. After a quick cheese stop we went to a posh winery that looked like a James Bond baddie's evil lair with a cheesy guitarist on the porch. Before his first sip of wine Rory rolled down a hill and smashed a wine glass in the posh wine-tasting bar. Can't take him anywhere
