The Friends Part

We had two wonderful days with Lynn and Mike... it's like staying at a gourmet gastronomic resort!! Lynn is a serious contender for masterchef. Dinner our first night was pheasant pie with celeriac mash and green beans..What a treat! - my first pheasant ever!
Over the course of the weekend, we consumed vast quantities of red wine, pheasant pie, crumbed sardines with onion jam on ciabatta,beef rendang and a farewell "big breakfast" of toast, mushrooms, tomatoes, bacon, egg and the piece de resistance .. duck and veal sausages!! O Yum!!! In between all this eating, we ambled downtown for winetasting and coffee drinking at this new hip cellar door. This is a private little stone room complete with roaring log fire, comfy lounge chairs and a selection of board games to wile away the hours.The weather was perfect for a winter break - cold and crisp, but sunny. Frost greeted us each morning - enough of a novelty for me to venture out to photograph it!!- frost on the bark chip in the garden and the frozen bird bath!



We finished the weekend with yet more food and a walk on Brighton beach. Thank you Greenies for a great weekend!:)
