Liss and Dave's Wedding

Scott went by himself for this wedding. We took it in turns. He had a great time catching up with everyone and he was so glad to be there to celebrate with Liss and Dave. He also enjoyed staying with Jen and Phil - thanks for looking after him!

Alison and Jason's Wedding

I got to have another trip back to Sydney last weekend. Alison was a friend I worked with in Tamworth. She was only there for the first year because she followed her heart and moved closer to Jason, in SA. Although I missed her greatly, it was nice to catch up and celebrate with her at her wedding (which was held in Wollongong).

Scott Brews Wine

A few months ago, we made a discovery. We knew you could brew your own beer and spirits but didn't believe the sign when it said 'Brew your own Wine'. After a visit to the shop and a talk with the saleslady, we found out it was true and so the process began. After buying the equipment kit, we then had to choose the kit for the type of wine we wanted. Scott's favourite is chardonnay, so we decided to try that first. The wine has now fermented and settled and been bottled! Here is Scott opening the first bottle, which apparently still needs a bit more time to fully develop. With a total of 32 bottles from the first kit, I think he will have some to share with all of you!To make the wine seem more professional and also have the personal touch, he has also designed his own label for his first batch 2007 Chardonnay from the 'Forever Travelling Winery'.Scott has already begun the next batch of wine, Semillon Blanc, which will be ready to bottle in a week or two.
