Tree naming ceremony

Our friend, Warwick from Melbourne (bur originally an Upper Hunter boy) spent ANZAC Weekend with us (making this his 5th visit here - he has edged out Piglet now). On one of the last trips that he and his partner John made here, they were kind enough to buy us a black sapote tree (they have the fruit that tastes like chocolate pudding) which is doing quite well. Warwick had a small but tasteful plaque made up signifying their gift so we had a plaque handing over ceremony on Saturday.
We take such events seriously here at Maryville.
We toasted the health of the tree with a bottle of Moet that Warwick had kindly brought up with him.
Hands locked in friendship, a small plaque commemorating a gift.
