After a sleep-in this morning, we eventually headed off to The Barossa Valley
. We stopped at a bakery and bought rolls for picnic lunch and yummy cakes. There was a big rocking horse out the front of a property, so we stopped for a look. They made wooden toys...expensive rocking horses, kits of various trucks, similar to what the boys made at high school, and lots of other toys, mainly from China. I don't think I would like to go in there with a child...you'd never get out!

The tasting and sales area is in a lovely well-kept setting. We bought some Pinot Noir
and Sauvignon Blanc.

This afternoon, we visited Maggie Beer's farmshop (ie Maggie from the Cook and the Chef). We saw a cooking demo, tasted various foods, and bought a few, as well as Maggie's book on Verjuice. The place is amazing. They stared out with pheasants and quail, then teaching people how to cook them. It's a pretty amazing success story.
The painting of Maggie and Simon was entered in The Archibald Prize.

Tonight we went to the movies at Mount Barker and saw Vanessa Redgrave in Letters to Juliette. It's a beautiful movie.
