ToastNZ

What a great time we had yesterday

The super six spent Saturday 6th July in the fresh air drinking New Zealand wines and eating New Zealand foods at ToastNZ.

Toast New Zealand was a food and wine festival that acted as a showcase for NZ wines, food and products. Over 6,000 people attended and it was held in the grounds of Syon House in west London.

Tickets were a bit steep at 28 GBP (42.50 USD/87.50 NZD) and once you got there you had to shell out at the very least 4 GBP (6 USD/12.50 NZD) for a 150ml (5 oz) glass of wine Given the cost of it though a great day was had by all I think. We got there about noon and nabbed quite possibly the last table available. This was a great boon as people weren't releasing tables so if you missed out at the beginning you were screwed.

6 hours of fine NZ wines, mediocre to good NZ food (yay for kumara chips, venison burgers and pavlova!) great weather and a well behaved crowd later we were back on the tube to the hour long trip home. We had all got a bit of sun and Vic was knackered so we came straight home while the others went out for dinner in Knightsbridge.

At 2 am I woke with a very upset stomach and a pounding headache and needed some middle of the night repairs - painkillers, antacids and loads of water later I managed to fall back to sleep and the slept in until 9:15!! Most unusual for me..........

Today has been spent chilling out and rushing to get KFC at 15:00 when Vic said in no uncertain terms that she "needed KFC right now!" So now I'm sitting here typing this and feeling slightly queasy.

I didn't take my camera but did take my clie and there are some lo-res hots of our day here
