Bloggymoon

Hello all,
We had an amazing party for our wedding and we are eternally grateful to everybody who turned up and boogied down with us. We have now embarked on what is traditionally called a 'honeymoon' which, according to wikipedia (which I never read), refers to the month after the wedding day whilst the relationship between the couple is at its best. Apparently it also involves something about mead which, according to wikipedia (which I never read), is a kind of honey wine.The moon part is meant to refer to the waxing and waning nature of the moon which reflects the suposed waning of love after the first month of marriage. The honey part isn't so clear; it seems only to refer to the a 'honey-like moon', which, I guess, is an even more droopy moon than a waning one! Anyway - all tradtional negativity pushed aside as mythology and superstition - I choose to take the interpetation that relates to honey-wine... or at least wine. So far we've made the most of the route south by stopping at convenient wine regions along the way. However, apparently we'll be going to a place in Coonawarra that makes mead, so we may live more up to at least one of the traditions than we might have expected. Stay tuned...
