Verse in the Vines

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!
