We really enjoyed our celebratory birthday lunch (for the January birthday boys) at the Contentious Character vineyard in Womboin last year, so we headed there again today for a repeat performance.
Abi was looking forward to getting in touch with some wildlife there - but it's so hot and SO DRY at the moment there wasn't a sign of a grasshopper or a lizard anywhere in the whole of Womboin(?).
The vines are stressed - and no doubt a bit smoke affected.
Those grapes are ripening but they're so small - and they'll have very little juice this year!
But our lunch - in air conditioned comfort - was as good as we remembered - and in great company too. I think everyone is feeling pretty good about school starting (in a week's time) and getting the new year underway.
The girls put a lot of effort into spoiling Joshy with treats for his birthday last Friday and Abi made him some rocky road which she was happy for me to photograph.
The girls had been playing with some make up that afternoon - I couldn't believe how adept Abi was applying eyeliner to her beautiful blue eyes - with minimal direction from a mirror! There's nothing much she can't turn her hands to these days.
