This past weekend we travelled back to our old stomping ground in the beautiful Murrindindi valley. It was oh so bittersweet - I actually got excited going to the crappy overpriced little supermarket I used to loathe and Mr M thought I was a total freak (not unjustified). But here in overpopulated Gippsland I never run into anyone I know in the supermarket, I used to spend at least three times longer than needed as I'd run into old Mrs whats-her-name in aisle five in Yea and chinwag about last week's cattle prices.
We stayed with dear friends in their amazing home, who I used to nanny for and Mr M bred some (pretty awesome if I do say so myself) embryo transfer calves for. The weekend was full of great friends, great local wine, great memories, great organic meals, great house which I secretly want to move in to. A new pony for the boys, who had both grown a foot! Some silage bale jumping in the sunshine, admiring new art purchases and some beautiful looking heifers at Ythanbrae.
Enough words...as always pictures say more.
How was your weekend? Playing along with Lou's point + shoot.

@Lou: Yes tis rather - our friends Tom and Liv's beautiful rammed earth home....le sigh! Great family home with central wall/chimney made from stone quarried on farm and awesome functional kitchen/big island/massive walk in pantry. I used to spend my days here baking with Monty, can't say I miss making a mess in such a kitchen ;)
