Current location: St Kilda
11.11am, Eating brunch, of course! Today we were a bit hungover after last night's birthday celebrations, so we stocked up on yummy food, and then headed out to Lara. All of Andy's amazing family were coming out for the day for a giant bbq, and we got back to Marie's (Andy's cousin) house to find the prep in full swing. Salads, burgers, sausages, dips, snacks and so many Eskys full of beer, wine, sparkling, cider and soft drinks – these guys sure know how to throw a bbq! As well as all the food and drink, a volleyball court was set up, and backyard cricket stuff was out ready to be played with.
As everyone (about 20 people) started arriving, each clutching more food and drink, we settled down on the giant verandah and starting eating, and drinking… The next few hours comprised chatting, listening, eating, volleyball, cricket, alpacas, dogs, football, drinking, and just so much love and laughter and family times. I love these guys very much; they have all just accepted me as part of their family (which is lovely seeing as mine live on the other side of the world!) and are so warm and open and gorgeous! Hours and hours later, when almost everyone had gone, me, Andy, Marie and Darren settled down to watch a movie and finish off the booze. I love this holiday – the perfect mix of family, friends, sights and loveliness.
