Another Scorcher

Toddled off to the Devonport Food and Wine Festival Saturday just been. Maaaaaaaaate.
The best day Summer has ever managed to pull out of its arse this year!
No photos unfortunately for you...and fortunately for me there are no photos.
Great day. Great people! Managed to catch up with Dnaa before her big day this Saturday (cant wait) and met her bridesman and future dad in law and sister in law. both had little english and me even less french, but much hand waving and eyebrow lifting got over the hurdles.
Alcomahol definately helps too.
The Bands!
Spacifix played, very lively but didnt wow too much, although im glad I ve seen them now as there has been much hype... but One Millon Dollars! oh my dog! they are brilliant! their singer kicked arse (jazz roots) and the brass section were tight as. Along the same vein as The Hot Grits, but I gotta say, I prefer One Millon Dollars.
The Wine!
Well, I stuck to bubbles (safe) and pretty much one stand Nautilus (spelling bad) which was yummy and light and easy to drink if left in the sun too long.
The Food!
One thing to say... You dont need bread with a whitebait fritter. Just lemon. And more Whitebait.
Anyhoo, lots of talking and dancing and hugging was done. A trip to Henderson Valley followed (over one hour), then it was back to ours for pizza and more drink. Very haizey towards the end...
