We had the family celebration of Kate's birthday last night. It was with some trepidation that we joined Adam in presenting her with a new mixer but it turns out she had been strongly hinting that this would be a good idea. We have been very happy with ours so expect she will enjoy using it.
Granny made sure there was plenty on the table but we were quite surprised that the childrens' rate of consumption had escalated over the holidays and most of the plates of cakes were nearly empty at the end of the night. We are entering a new era.
We also appear to have divided along party lines on the wines of the evening. On this occasion, the gentlemen partook of a 97 Coonawarra Shiraz to accompany the lasagne but the gentlewomen stayed with Moscato and Sav Blanc.
