To celebrate this auspicious occasion I will give away 1 bag of 10 goodies for every 10 messages left on my blog. So leave a message and go into the draw. I only ever started my blog because I could see my gallery page in our website was never going to be updated so there you go.
Because we have worked all weekend (and yes the latest QA and product of month (POM) are all packed ready to post but not the big pile of orders) we decided to take this afternoon off and go up to the Swan Valley for lunch. We used to go often but not for a long time. We went to Little River where we have had many good lunches in the past and once again we had a nice relaxing afternoon. We might even do it again before too long. We seem to have known the owner, Jan, for a long long time and it was lovely to catch up again.
Bring rather lazy I stayed in the car to photgraph some of the vines but at least you can see we went to a vineyard!
Ian's lunch - lamb pie. I think the menu has been the same for ever and I think we have both had this meal every time we have been.
I had beef bourgignone - it was lovely. now we are replete and listening to Pink Martini,
Dorothy - you can never mistake a blonde even when she changes her hair colour. It's built in!
Congratulations on your 1000th Dale!!! At least you type good stuff.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the POM to arrive.
Next time we're down your way I'll drop you a line for directions to that place, food looks yum!!
