These are a few of Wilf's favourite things

We took a trip to the Swan Valley - WA's wine producing area. Uncle W was beside himself with glee at all the good things he might come across! First up was the chocolate maker. His eyes lit up when we walked through the door to be greeted with three big bowls of chocolate drops - marked 'have a taste'.

Never shy where food is concerned he accepted the invitation - several times! An array of chocolates were temptingly displayed and tastings of fudge and truffles followed.

He discovered a bowl of 70% chocolate drops - though I think by the time we left there were probably only about 35% remaining.... After so much temptation we made our way to the cafe for a restorative cup of hot chocolate - made with real chocolate drops.

He left clutching a big bag of chocolates destined for presents - cross your fingers if you think you'll be a recipient, I'll try and keep him away!

Wine and cheese tastings followed - we passed field after field of glorious green vines with the tiny grapes just beginning to show.

After so much hard work he declared himself ready for a sit down and something light to eat!

An Australian sized portion arrived - and yes, he did finish it!
