Bright, Victoria

Shan, Kate and I headed to Bright (inland Victoria). It was really cold but very pretty.

We went for frosty morning walks, visited wineries for tastings and gererally had a fab time there.

A Ned Kelly pie from the famous bakery in Beachworth

Followed by Bee Sting!! YUUMMYYY

It was a tad cold so Shan had to wear her mittens to hold her beer!

Dee & Shan visit Melbourne Zoo

Shan and I went to the zoo to visit Marli the baby elephant. He was really cute. We also saw 3 sumatran tiger cubs who would not stay still enough to get a decent photo of them.
Anyway this is what we saw:

Mel and Finn visit Melbourne

Mel and Finn came to visit me in Melbourne before Easter and we had 4 full on days of fun filled activities. Well mainly trips to the park... But fun none the less. I was exhausted when they left. It was really great to spend time with them especially as Finn was in the cusp of lots of talking. He could say Dee and Shannon (does annon count?) which was great. I could not convince him to say "ding ding" for the tram however we did get lots of "choo choo" for the trains.

Lots of messy eating...but how cute!

Tram rides

Nap time

Melbourne Aquarium was really awesome

We visited a local animal farm between naps

We spent lots of time at the play ground accross the road

Finn and I chat on our mobiles

Millionaires Party - flat warming Feb 2010

Shan and I decided to have a Millionaires themed party to match our new address in South Yarra. Shan dug out her fur coat and we both threw on some pearls. My brother turned up for the weekend from Sydney which was fantastic.

Shan strickes a pose with Mark

Alice was surprised to see Simon. Not sure how many years it has been since they last saw each other.

Donald Trump and his beautiful wife made an appearance (aka Kelly and Rob)

Shan cooked up a storm of fancy canapes worthy of millionaires. And for dessert she made Jamie Oliver chocolate brownies. They taste as devine as they look!! Mmmmmm.....

Mr D kept an eye on things from the safety of the Giraffe
