Wedding Snaps
In this digital age not one of us hesitates to capture each moment in time and make a photographic memory to be shared. This wedding was no exception, with mobile phones, cameras with large zoom lenses and the more discrete models - snapping, clicking and flashing all afternoon until late in the evening. It is interesting to review the fresh smiles seen in those snapped photographs as guests busied themselves sampling bubbles, beer or wines and even the odd cognac. Terrace images highlight the cheerful mood. Tennis even made its way into the proceedings. Who would have thought?
Spicer's Peak Wedding
At 3 o'clock family and friends made their way to the lawn by the pool. Twenty-four of us assembled to witness Kirstie and Michael exchanging their vows. The sun was shining and there was a definite warmth to the air. Kirstie and her attendants were keen to begin proceedings. Hair dressed and dresses donned it was time to commence the ceremony. Michael and his groom's men were waiting to greet the bridal procession. Geoff, the celebrant recounted the stories of how Kirstie and Michael met and some shared memories of their relationship. Following the ceremony the partying began in earnest. A Wedding Feast of seven courses had been designed and presented to an exceptional standard. Dining tables festooned with flowers and silver candelabras created a mood of calm elegance and sophistication. A two tiered wedding cake mirrored the traditional theme now so well established by the happy couple.

Lillino's Light Lunch
Talga Road is the place to go for a light lunch or the daily chalkboard special. On Saturday afternoon we sat at Luigi's where we feasted on wood-fired pizza, insalata mista, the '05 Shiraz and poached pear. A pleasant way to spend the second last day of my holidays. Luigi was kind enough to bring in one of Isabella's pups. Every cellar door needs a dog. Luigi has two. We may soon have one of those pups.
