Why A Rapper

Bonjour, bonjour!! At last the sun has blessed us with it's warming presence and just in time for our little festival in the Waiarapa (pronounced why a rapper). The transport to the festival was less than organised with a lot of people perhaps left stranded in Wellington due to the train balls up. Luckily, although we had planned to go by train, and had turned up promptly at 8 on Sunday morning, we had two lovely people in our group who volunteered to drive us there when all collapsed around our ears. The scenery up through the hills was stunning, and our car was obviously the fun car as we were dancing so much that when we stopped at the traffic lights the wee thing was bouncing.
Throughout the course of the day we headed to several wineries sampling their fine fare and listening (sometimes dancing) to some funky tunes. One was never without a glass as your ticket was exchanged for a souveneir glass on arrival, which hung about the neck as you trundled from one winery to the next. There was ten of us in our little group and I think we all had a marvellous day in the country, so lets all raise our glasses and say cheers!!

Here's me and Laura with our spanking new glasses
