Bits & Pieces......

Here's some bits & pieces from Easter Weekend when we went along the Yarra River valleys about 30Km from home to a Farmers Market @ the oldest Vineyard in Victoria, Yering Station a multi award winning vineyard at Yarra Glen.

Bought lots of organic Sauces, Dips & Honeys to enjoy and had a nice snackette overlooking the vineyard which is a huge complex of old & new. The fancy modern building houses a Restaurant up top with views inside to the cask storage underground and fermenting tanks.

The view across at the fancy building was from an old barn/shop where there is a Cafe, art exhibition and a free tasting bar......FREE tasting - as much as you like! :-)

The Rental Home & Surrounds

Well as it says here is the Rental Home. Looking a bit bare. Apologies in advance for the (really really embarrassingly) cheesy grin from the Leffe drinker!! (Maybe too many VB's before hand??)

Note the new Garden Furniture (bar type table & chairs - nice & easy to fall out of!), new Microwave and the odd new iPod gadget (mmmm cheaper than UK......Thank goodness!).

Also the GIANT inflatable bed - surprisingly comfortable - lasted 6 weeks so far and going strong.....absolute bargain!!













And here are some shots of the close by Tunstall Shopping Square - 75 specialty shops as well as a 24hr Supermarket - how they manage in one place without all the individual bakers, butchers, deli's & fruit stalls going out of business with the supermarket is beyond me but it's great that it all works together.

As you can see the supermarket even has its own decent fruit and deli area. The shots of the car park show a monthly weekend Market.

The shot of the beer fridge ?? - Couldn't resist such a reminder of Hayrick Close!!! Leffe, Duval, Chimay!! Woo-Hoo!! ;-)

It''s one of our local off-licenses so Tim there's a cold one waiting for you!
