Good Friday BBQ with Crystal and Gerrard

It was lovely to be able to spend time with Crystal and Gerrard at their home and have a Good Friday BBQ.  Jason and Sharni were there too.  Lots of fun and laughter and Easter Eggs too.

Seymour Car Show and Fowles Winery.

We went to a car show at Seymour, I took lots of photos so will only put up a few. From Vintage to Modern and Hot Rods too.  Then we went to Fowles winery for a wine tasting.

Their cakes looked so yummy.

What an amazing holiday.





A Day in Heathcote.

Heathcote is a lovely little town with the best Bakery in Victoria and a Micro Brewery.  I love this place.

We went to a little junk shop and I found this amazing blue and white.  I need a bigger suitcase.


Gaffney's Bakery - totally amazing.


Getting ready for Easter.


We needed cold drinks.

Palling Brother's Micro Brewery.


We had to taste test the beers, and stopped for lunch.


The next morning we sat outside for breakfast and the lady next door puts out bird seed.


All these amazing lorikeets come for breakfast.


They are so beautiful and colourful.


So many and the noise is delightful.
