28 August 2022 Sunday – Perth

Denise cooked us a delicious pancake & fruit salad breakfast this morning & we sat & chatted for ages.  Craig & I mounted a new weather station for Denise on the back fence then we had a leisurely morning tea.  Denise then drove us back out to Jarrahdale & the Millbrook Winery. The beautiful Serpentine Forest, full of grass trees & tall eucalypts adjoins the Old Chestnut Lane as we drive down to the newly established Millbrook Winery. The building is big, new, stone & two storey overlooking a large dam with a small island hosting a statue of Dionysius, the Greek god of wine.  The large tasting room has a very high ceiling, a long wooden bar & a roaring open fire & we fortunately find a vacant table near the fire. We order a large tasting platter full of delicious cheeses, olives, meat, bread & pickled vegetables. Plus some tasting glasses. We spend an enjoyable afternoon savouring the delicious cheeses, eating food, chatting & tasting some delicious wines. We purchase some of the best wines for our dinner tonight.

We get back home late & prepare for heading out again for dinner tonight at Virasat Indian Restaurant in Shoalwater. Craig’s old friend & his wife join us for dinner & we share a variety of Indian food, all very tasty & filling, with some bottles of Millbrook red to wash it all down. Then back home to enjoy a decadent chocolate dessert that Denise had prepared earlier, absolutely delicious. We all had a nice relaxing long chatted before Bill & Evelyn left.  After a very enjoyable day it was time for us to go to bed & it didn’t take any rocking before we were fast asleep. Another great day.
