Wine, dined...I'm 39!

Thank you for my cards, pressies & flowers for my birthday. Jessica & Chris did me a birthday table, I had a bit of a lie-in and several lovely long chats on the telephone. I took Alex to his first away soccer game, where he reassured me that he would win and try to score( a bit tricky because he was put in goal in the second half!) They did win , however, 1-0.
We went to Mama Mex for a special meal in the evening. (Alex's request). It aims to have the best of both worlds in relation to Italian/ Mexican cuisine. More of a Jack of all trades master of none we thought.



On the Sunday it was Mother's Day (apparently it was also Mother's day in many other countries too...like Denmark, USA etc).
It was great...spoilt again! Off we went to the Hunter Valley, where everyone else seemed to have brought their mums too! After our picnic we toured some wineries and then set off to the one I had seen in the book; a clever concept and my dream place.... a winery, with an art gallery!



The Mistletoe Gallery had it all...great wines, paintings and sculptures, set in beautiful surroundings...I loved it!



So, on an art theme, I thought you might like to see the two leaf paintings I have done; sorry about the blurred quality of the shots , but hopefully you can see, one is Sharon's dog, Fal (neighbour across the road who has been so helpful) and the other is a New Forest scene for Gloria's (Michelle's Mum) birthday.

Oh god. I see you're inflicting your bloody leaves on the Aussies too! Poor buggers! :-) Fancy taking all the leaf-painting stuff and NOT your teaching certificate eh? Tch! What a palaver!

Glad you had a good birthday and that the card got there!
