Weekend in Carrickalinga (2)

Early Saturday morning, Chris went to get some groceries and Kelly, Jo and I took a stroll down to the beach with Miller. He loves the water - check out this video - http://youtu.be/qIuLCFj2fBA

David and Lorene rolled up - slightly unexpectedly - just as we were getting ready to drive back to McLaren Vale for lunch at the lovely Coriole Winery, but it was no problem to increase the table size to 6. Miller had to be entertained whilst we waited for our food so I took him for a wander round the grounds:

Here we are at lunch:

and here's Jo and I, sitting in the lovely spot where we drank wine a couple of years ago:

Back at Carrickalinga, Lorene was sporting the hat that Kelly was wearing on the infamous day of the near-drowning incident when Chris' Uncle Harry's boat sank a couple of years ago:

We had a good go at the wine stocks that evening and, as a result, we all signed the pledge the following morning - Sunday was to be another alcohol free day for us. I tried to go a step further and have a little bit of early morning exercise, using one of the bikes in the large shed. Unfortunately, technical issues spoiled things a bit and I only managed a very short ride:

Chris made us all a really hearty holiday breakfast of bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and toast and then it was time to tidy the house before heading back up to Adelaide.

This Monday morning, Jo and I are home alone again and will probably go for a walk. It's due to be another modest temperature day - just 25C - so it should be perfect for us if we get going mid-morning. Forecast is for the thermometer to rise back to the 30's for the weekend.
