After all the hectic family Christmas celebrations and before the big New Year celebrations, the boy and I decided to take a much needed break and spend a couple of days in the Hunter Valley. Though I live so close, practically neighbours, I have never visited the Hunter, I am so happy that we made this time and visited, I adored every moment.

We stayed at the gorgeous Cedars Mount View and were treated to an upgrade to “The Vue” room.  We took a trip to the Smelly Cheese Shop to pick up supplies for our first evening, then day two we went on a wine tour with Hunter Valley Classic Carriages (we took the bus not a carriage), and visted a few different wineries for some taste testing then visited the Smelly Cheese shop again and picked up a few more supplies. Inbetween all the eating of cheese and drinking of wine, we relaxed, watched the sunset and even took the time to snap some self portraits :D My new favourite photos of me and him.  

Our last day we did a bit more taste testing including beer and chocolate, yummmm (chocolate not the beer). We have returned with loads of wine, chocolate and cheese, enough to last a while.
