I went down to Thumm Estate this afternoon to celebrate part of Kat’s hen’s weekend – we lunched on bruschetta and smoked salmon terrine, with a sparkling shiraz, then headed over to have a tour of the port barrels.

There was much hilarity.

I bought some coffee liqueur which was just divine, and a sparkling rose which tasted of summertime and honey (and which I am plotting to drink outside, preferably while picnicking).
