We did do our usual fabric shopping with all the peeps, but decided that at lunch we would head to the beach. Man oh man am I glad we did. D, W and I went to Henley Beach, where we had a really delicious lunch, followed by walking on the beach (and some paddling). We had such a lovely day!
Then we had dinner in our room as we got dressed.... There may have also been a couple of drinks as well before we went to the ball. Last year we did a group entry into the competition, and after that I vowed and declared I wouldn't do that again so that we could do things like stroll along the beach and paddle in the water.
We had a great time at the ball, even though we have decided that we'll have to take our own food from now on since there really isn't anything appetising for us to eat. Even though I didn't enter the competition, my Idris managed to take out a best in hall award. Many people have told me I should enter again, so given the format of the competition has changed for next year, I've emailed the National President to find out what is involved. As long as I can still do my shopping/tourist trip on the Saturday, I may just do it. Anyway, a couple of the photos....
On Sunday, D had to leave early, so we missed seeing her mores the pity. W and I had decided though that we would head to Maggie Beer's farm. Maggie Beer used to host possibly my favourite cooking show that is no longer on the air, and her farm is where it was filmed. We had lunch, and a really good walk around. It was really lovely. We think we'll go back next year, and possibly head to a couple of wineries. It's a beautifully stunning place though, and they put on dairy/gluten free food for us which was delicious!
