Today we went to Verse in the Vines at Mount Majura winery. A great event where four local poets conducted readings of their work in the barrel room at Mt Majura while the receptive audience enjoyed a glass of wine. We went with Mum, Grace, Jason & David, and Elliott (of course)! While it wasn't exactly 'child friendly' (what was I thinking?!?) Simon and I took turns listening to the poets while one of us minded Elliott out in the (much noisier) cellar door area.My favourite poets were Michael Byrne and Melinda Smith, especially her poems about being a mum!

Hi there - Melinda Smith here, glad you liked the reading !! I could see you up the back doing the baby-swap dance and I was remembering back to 2006, which was the last time I had to do that. He's nearly three now but he went to several book launches and a literary Christmas party before he was 6 months old :-) His big brother came to Mummy's own book launch when he was 4 months old and only had to be taken outside a couple of times.
Anyway, if you liked the Mummy poems I did at the reading, there are several more on my blog - check out www.melindasmith.wordpres.com.
Good luck with the parenting journey and keep blogging - regards, Melinda
