Easter 2011

We've had a lovely Easter, shared with our great friends, Graeme and Simeon and their friend, Adam, as well as their two pugs, Keo and Geordie. They arrived on Thursday night and left this Morning (Monday -which also happens to be my 3rd anniversary here in the Northern Rivers). We had a lazy day at home on Friday, then on Saturday we drove up to Uki and then to Burringbah - a new place for us - to buy some plants at this amazing rainforest nursery that had squillions of amazing rainforest plants from everywhere. This guy who worked there was very knowledgeable and loved the plants...love seeing that and I'm envious of his job.
We then headed back, stopping first to get a pic with this rather fantastic replica of a goanna...perhaps an idea for our front gate?
Then on to Mavis' Kitchen for lunch. The weather was beautiful, sunny, warm and calm. Perfect weather for drinking a fine bottle of sparkling chardonnay before lunch made from organic, free range animals and herbs and veges grown in their own garden. How fabulous to watch one of the chefs come out and pick fresh herbs to cook with.
And here we are at lunch: Adam, Graeme, Simeon and Steve. And yes, there was another helicopter parked on the lawn on Saturday. How fricking amazing to fly your helicopter down to Mavis' Kitchen for lunch.
