Long time readers may recall this post covering the first time Hedy and I visited the ruin that friends Andy and Seona had bought out at Mintaro on the eastern edge of the Clare Valley.
What better way to spend Valentine’s Day with another trip (with the Jans) to view the progress and to share brunch under the trees in what is really starting to become much more than a ruin.
From the front
Compare these photos with the one on the earlier post to see just how much work, and money, Andy and Seona have done up until now. I am finally starting to realise just how much vision they have had when purchasing this all that time ago.
We set oursleves up on a table under a huge gum and proceeded to demolish the bacon and eggs, before setting off for a walk around Mintaro. Then back to the house for a couple of glasses of wine, a visit from Karen and Rodney who were in the area celebrating their anniversary, and then back in the car for the drive home.
All in all, a great day!
