The Hunter, what a wonderful way to spend the first weekend of December? Apparently we made 'good time' driving up in the rain after work Friday night, we ate home cooked lasagne and there was no hesitation hitting the wine.
Up at a reasonable hour the next morning, cooked an omelet and started our convoy-esque trek through the vineyards... 2 full cars, funky music playing and laughing.
Biggest laugh of the drive:
I will survive playing on the radio, 5 of us singing along, the other car delayed so we're driving approx 5km, we halt then one of the guys yells out 'everyone one out and dance' we jump out do a boogie for 3 seconds and jump back in the car!
D. was happy x 10000 when she found some Malbec wine. Oh yummo, I think we all bought a bottle!
In tradition we had a Saturday night BBQ, watched High School Musical - It was so bad. It was compulsive viewing; our excuse was that we were drinking from 10:00am. Dinner was delicious, almost everyone tired from eating and drinking too much, they didn’t want to go out and there was discussion in regard to what DVD watch or board game to play... Nup, I wanted to party! (the after lunch / cheese feast cat nap did wonders). I grabbed my bag and car keys and said ‘I’m going to see if I can hear Elton – who wants to come?’ I had a full car.
We drove to Tempest Two and the set up was amazing! I rolled (pressed button doesn’t have the same oomph) down the windows and we could hear him, I turned the corner and pulled up along the verge. We jumped out and saw a dozen or so groups of people scattered on the grassy knoll, we were like giggling teenage girls running along the grass for the most premium of views.
We sat on the grass and our view was sensational – I mean I’ve paid in excess of $100 for a view much the same. We were singing along to ‘sacrifice’ and called the rest of the party to join us. No more than 15 minutes later we were all together swaying and singing to “sorry seems to be the hardest word…” almost teary eyed, called and texted a couple of friends to say ‘listen to this! This is awesome!’
The rain bucketed down – I mean it was pelting! All but D and I ran to the car. Jokes on you, I had the keys!!! There was NO WAY I was going to let a little bit of rain affect this experience.
D and I were dancing in the rain on the top of the grassy hill to Crocodile Rock. You know when you you’re doing something and you just know ‘this moment is one of those moments you will forever look back on’ that was one of those times…
M came back with an umbrella just in time for Elton John’s finale - my favourite song of his (and George Michael) Don’t let the sun go down on me….
On an absolute high we started driving back, on the back roads to avoid the many coaches and the idea came to visit the Potters Barn. It was a good idea at the time; this country pub is a shock to the system. Example: Karaoke ‘Hit me with your best shot’ there were 2 woman up on stage as N said ‘those woman are made for comfort’ they started belting the tune out and supplemented the lyrics
We fell to pieces laughing, they sang with such a serious composure. They sang in a public bar. They sang the rest of the song. Same chorus. It was time to call it a night. And what an AWESOME night it was…

Hit me in my wet spot
Tickle my G spot
Let me suck your big cock
Fire away!
