Blackwell Shiraz and the Lithgow Reunion

-The Blackwwell Reunion March 2009-

The reunion went well with plenty of relations from various parts of Australia as well as one from South Africa and myself representing the New Zealand side of the family. Met with allot of relations I had not seen in yonks and met others I had not seen before.

We had it in the Lithgow Hall. Quite a gathering of the clan, starting at about 5pm, carrying onto the wee hours of the morning. They had bottles of Blackwell Shiraz for us to try. I don’t think the Blackwell responsible for making this wine was related to us but it seemed fairly apt beverage to drink, considering the circumstances.

A good night had by all.

The next day we had a sausage sizzle at the same hall and then started back for Potts Point by mid afternoon.
