Somehow it gives me a sense of serenity and contentment, cant quite describe. My favourite is still the barossa valley, visited there many times during my years in Adelaide, Esther@thefussfreechefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898768867504528978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1609412564506817842.post-73509243828243882432013-01-10T20:02:00.572+08:002013-01-10T20:02:00.572+08:00Well said, PH!

I guess that's true, we all have our challenges and if we love what we do, we can rise above it. I live my dream during the weekends playing with my chicken and marinades and the occasional sprinkling of flour. Hah! Hah! Did you buy any wine from Long Gully Estate?PHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11010771600736676432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1609412564506817842.post-57384403018569891962013-01-10T07:12:33.844+08:002013-01-10T07:12:33.844+08:00Hi Alvin,

All I see is beautiful sunshine, blue sky, lots of greenery from the vineyards. Love the scenery. One of our professors that had recently retired to be a wine-maker... I'm guessing he is enjoying his life now :D<br /><br />ZoeZoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07421563268838633392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1609412564506817842.post-1014293481707945402013-01-10T07:01:59.938+08:002013-01-10T07:01:59.938+08:00Hi Mel!
