That old 'gezellig' feeling...

We have just spent a long weekend in Adelaide and visted the Barossa Valley which is one of Australia's great wine making regions. It was so gezellig!

This is the view across a part of the Barossa from a small little vinyard called Bethany Wines - one of the oldest established winemakers in the valley. If you get a chance to visit, I highly recommend their white port. It is delicious!

Also - now that we've had a few posts with the word 'gezellig' in them, I thought I might try and explain what this fabulous Dutch word means. There isn't just one english word that is equivilent - but the closest might be 'cosy'. But it also means friendly and comfortable and homely along with any other word that can be associated with warm and fuzzy feelings. So now when you see us say something is gezellig, hopefully you understand 'almost' exactly what we mean...
