What a weekend.... Part Two

Well, after the excitement of our Anniversary evening, we managed to stretch it out to the next day when we went up to the Yarra Valley for the day with our good friends, Tony and Marie (of Sunday morning walk fame) - it is their anniversary exactly a week after ours and the same number of years, so the last several years we usually have some sort of joint celebration and lots of fun together.

So, what can I tell you about our day?  Well, the Yarra Valley wine region is heaven on a stick, especially for foodies and wine lovers.

We visited a dairy, two wineries (we had a delicious lunch at one and bought wine and freshly picked apples at the other), a gerbera farm (with llamas - not sure about the connection between gerberas and llamas!),  the White Rabbit brewery and the famous Beechworth Bakery.

Then on Sunday, Mother's Day, DD took me out to lunch and a movie "While we're young" and DS2 sent me some gorgeous flowers.

Do you want to see some pics?  Silly question, of course you do and I am going to show them to you anyway - lol!  Here they are in random order.....


















So, in all a marvellous weekend, but very tiring!  In fact, when I got home on Sunday after the movie, I went to bed for a nap at 4.30 and then got up, had some soup and was back in bed by 8.30!

Too much gallivanting as my dear Mum would have said.

Anyway, it was just great being out and about with family and friends all weekend. However, this weekend is going to be much quieter. I plan to do lots of stitching, reading, visit my dear Dad and run a few, gentle errands.  How about all of your plans?

It is FNSI tonight, so the stitching will start tonight - you can sign up here.

Have fun everyone, my next post will be my GG post, so please come back to see what I have been doing.

hugs,

I so enjoyed the photos from your trip, Kaye! Hope this weekend brings some downtime--sometimes, it's just nice to stay home and cocoon, isn't it?

"Can't buy happiness but you can buy beer" LOL! We have a few wineries around here but I don't much care for alcohol (give me sweet, sweet, sweeeeeet) so we only go there for the amazing atmosphere and fun food. Looks like you had a great time and I'm sure those sleeps felt awesome afterwards. :D
