We had another celebration over the weekend to celebrate my three score years and ten. The Inchleys were down from Sydney for the occasion and the weather Gods were finally doing their job as we headed for the De Bortoli Winery. The Yarra Valley was picture perfect.
Lunch kicked off well with great service and excellent food.
To add to the entertainment, the Inchleys were trying to purchase a house at auction in Sydney at the precise time that the mains were supposed to be served. The staff were very accommodating and Graeme sweated it out on the phone buying his house for less than expected just before the mains were delivered to the table. A VERY satisfactory result.
We were all in a state of excitement for the rest of the meal.
Following a wonderful meal we called in at the Chocolatier in Yarra Glen. We did not think we had had a lot of wine at lunch but the animals around the Chocolatier looked a little different.
Then it was back home for a lazy afternoon and home made pizzas for dinner.
A great day with great friends and a great way to formalise my entry into the ranks of the senior citizenry.
