Loira Vines.

After an inch of rain last night, the skies cleared to a pleasant autumnal day for our leisurely lunch at Loira Vines for Crystal's birthday.  They serve the most amazing platters, and a lovely selection of wines and ciders.  We had a most wonderful time catching up.

The lovely people at Loira Vines.

Cider anyone?

The Platters look amazing.

So much to choose from.

Olivia and Richard.

Sue and Andrew.

Some of the vines look really old.

We had a really lovely time.

It was a shame Sharni and Maddi were

both unwell and could not attend.

That's a good reason to go back again,

when they are feeling better.
