A fabulous birthday outing....

Oh, I had such a lovely day today.  Two of my very dearest friends, Heather and Franca (we met when our lovely daughters became friends in Grade 3! About eighteen years ago now!) took me out to the Yarra Valley for a birthday outing.

We ate lunch at the absolutely gorgeous Tarrawarra Estate. There is a great restaurant (where the chef cooks with a lot of produce from the estate's kitchen garden), an art gallery and a cellar door, naturally.




Thank you, Heather and Franca, for a great day out!  Love you both, so much.

hugs,

The Alphabet Club_Saturday Detention for Z...

... and the end of our Alphabet Journey!



IS FOR









Click on the picture above to find out more about our wonderful Zoos - we are very lucky, here in Melbourne.


So, this is me, signing off on The Alphabet Posts - it has been a great journey which I have really enjoyed taking with you.  Click on any of the letters below to revisit A to Y.

A   B   C   D   E     G   H   I   J   K   L   M   N   O   P   Q   R   S   T   U   V   W     Y


but let me explain what The Alphabet Club is all about ....

  It is the brainchild of Chiara from The Grey Tail and Jo from Serendipitous Stitching and is loosely based on the premise of the movie "The Breakfast Club" - you can see the button for The Alphabet Club on my right sidebar.

On the first Saturday of each month, members of the club have "detention" and have to post about something that will enlighten others about their culture (as blogland is so diverse).  Of course, there should/could be something stitchy in there, if possible (although I seemed to have moved right away from that premise as the months have gone by, instead focusing on boring you all with quirky facts about Australia - lol!)

Each month will be a different letter of the alphabet - hence the club's name - and, of course, we started with "A" and now we are up to "Y",  the penultimate letter - almost the end of the alphabet but dear Jo tells me that she has a great idea for Life after Z - can't wait to find out what it is!

Thank you, Chiara and Jo for a wonderful journey.
