There is just something so picturesque about the wine farms, even when the weather is not perfect. My fingers itch whenever I get near one.

Stuart and the girls are generally pretty patient with my photography, but even they had enough for this trip. Stuart packed me in a car and sent me to Constancia Wine route as we were living in the neighbourhood. He and the girls stayed at the house swimming and relaxing.

As I was driving myself, I ended up drinking more coke than wine – but I got my photos.
