Long week-end

Friday was Anzac Day, hence a public holiday. We had a lovely visit from hubby's second cousin and his wife. They have been up here several times but not to this house, so they came for lunch and spent the day. In the evening we went to the Como pub.

Due to the long weekend and also Easter school holiday the Como Hotel was pretty packed, and the courtesy bus was very busy. It's a bus for people that have had a drink or two too many and can't drive home. They get taken home, courtesy of the pub, but not unless they can prove by a breath analysis that they have had too much. You are not supposed to treat it as a free taxi ride! I like the idea and I hope it is not too shameful to be dropped off and everyone seeing it in your street. Maybe people give a slightly false address, close to home but not in front of the door.  I might avail myself of this service sometime ... purely for research purposes of course.

Yesterday we had a surprise visit by our son and went for a very long drive to a motor bike museum with more than 700 motorbikes and memorabilia, a veritable gold mine if you like that sort of thing.

Like kids in a candy shop

I was out of there in half an hour and then I had time to sit and read two gossip magazines and play with my phone and write in my diary and speak to the owners and check out their merchandise. All that and more before the boys finally came out.

We had seen signs for a winery and arrived there quite late but was made to feel very welcome by the Hungarian winemaker. We sat for over an hour and tasted his delicious wines and heard his life story. I love hearing peoples' stories.

Needless to say we came home with quite a few bottles and we look forward to tasting them

Until next time, when I will tell you more about White Cliffs,
