Chris and Kelly did the last of their shopping for today's celebrations yesterday morning and then we headed for the hills - back to our favourite microbrewery, the Lobethal Bierhaus - a little gem of a place that was really buzzing yesterday. Encouragingly, they're even in the process of installing 4 handpumps to serve British style real ale.
Lunch was lovely and we finished off our beers on the lawn:
Kelly and Chris obviously thought a session here was insufficient to keep our alcohol levels up to the standard to which they have recently been accustomed, so they took us on a slight detour to visit the beautiful little Pike & Joyce winery on the way home:
Back home, we had planned to have flathead for dinner, but none of us were really hungry so we just nibbled at scraps and settled down to watch some of the Aussie Open tennis. I ended up on the midnight shift, waiting for Andy Murray to finish off his opponent.
Here's one of Miller playing with my sunglasses:
I imagine Chris' parents will be getting ready to leave their home in Port Eliot about now to come and join us. Chris is cleaning the BBQ just now and Kelly is preparing some of the brunch, whilst Jo keeps Miller occupied. As for Chris' brother Matt, nobody is sure exactly when he will arrive - presumably with daughter Abby.
