Wozz & I Spent about 4 months in Palma de Mallorca Spain.  We were still kind of working on yachts but were land based for the winter.  We rented a little apartment in the old town just a block from the plaza de mayor (which is a large center/meeting area in the old town of Palma).

 

       

As glamorous as it looks yachting is basically being in gaol, with the looming threat of drowning.
In contrast, if I could borrow the words of Emerson:
"Aboard a boat there is no knowledge that is not valuable - In this little balloon of ours, so far from the human family and their sages and colleges and manufactories, every accomplishment, every nature or acquired talent, every piece of information is at some time in request"

 

Now what tour of Oz would be complete with out allowing one self to become completely lost amongst the hills of the Northern Rivers District and the our local coffee growers that reside with in.

Talk about life in a fish bowl.....
Attending Newcastle's Farmers Market gives an artisan the notion of what an uninspiring piece of art at the Louvre Paris might feel like.

 
This past week we were on the road in the hunter valley to pick up some retailers and couldn’t resist to do some wine tasting (when in Rome)

 
Paris has been referred to as the city of lights…the city of love…the most romantic place on earth…and why not. Because it is, even if it rains every single day of your 10 day visit.

It has been a massive week after gearing up for Sydney Taste Festival where we launched our full product range. We received warm reviews and praise and met many fantastic people (we even picked up our first retailer!). To all those unaware, Taste is a four day congregation of some of Sydney's best restaurants, bars and producers showing off their wares and some thing we were very proud to be part of. Thank you to all those who showed their support. Thank you to River Flats Estate, Farmer Jo, Crooked Creek Biscuits, Vinum Australis and Burton wines for all the fun and the friendships made
