Last weekend was one that we had been looking forward to for
a long time – except for the whole camping in the middle of winter thing (Jane’s
perspective). Simone (our neighbour on the farm) had her 40th
birthday, and had elected a Steampunk theme.
We travelled up on the Saturday, only ever intending to stay
one night. With night time temperatures dropping to -2 degrees, it didn’t make
sense to sleep out for any longer. We might have a roof, but the temperature
outside is the same as inside – bloody cold at present.
It has to be a bonus owning a vineyard when it is party
time! The full array of Rosnay wines was on display, and we made sure to take
full advantage. The night was excellent – and there was enough fire to be warm.
Everyone took to the theme and really dressed up. A good fancy dress party is
the best – and we are looking forward to many more in the future (have to get
more wear out of a hat as magnificent as this one!).
Oh- and if you are wondering – I did make the hat…
Finally found a use for an old mess jacket...

Our beautiful night sky again came to the party. I think this may well be the Moon, Jupiter and Venus over the roof of the house
