in the Chittering Valley (about an hour north of Perth). Today we went to see them, and to pick up his 12 bottles of Shiraz produced from them. Lynette and Trevor welcomed us and gave us some tastings of their wine and olive oils, then Trevor showed us around, showing us his sheep, vines, olives and citronella fruit trees. Whilst looking at the sheep I felt something crawl on my leg, then I felt a nip higher up my thigh - ANTS - I had to make a hasty exit to the loo and evict it from my jeans! We'll visit them later this year and get the remainder of John's birthday present - a lunch platter and Devonshire tea for 6 - we may even stay over somewhere near there and make a weekend of it. See the photo album for some more pictures of the winery.This week we've both passed the theory test of our Skippers ticket, we were due to go out and do the practical on Saturday, but the weather has changed (you can see the dark clouds in the photo), and we have had to postpone going out until the weather clears. Tonight we are due storms, but from Tuesday it should be up to 25C again.
