We have just had a fan-bloody-tastic weekend, even if it did get off to a shaky start. We had planned to go out for a few quiet drinks with friends, but as things do, it got a little out of hand and we both woke up feeling like crap - not even greasy egg sarnees helped. Anyway we managed to drag ourselves out of the house and up to the hunter valley to Opera in the Vineyards. Really cool idea, loads of great food and booze and you take everything else. We lay round listening to the music, eating and drinking. On the Sunday we drove round the Hunter Valley a bit more then headed home, with what appeared to be everyone else in Sydney, only took about 1/2 hour longer than I thought it was going to so the traffic wasn't too bad. Anyway go to the Hunter Valley, very beautiful.
