Flemington Markets

About every 2 or 3 weeks we go to the markets to buy our fruit & vegies at bargain prices at the Flemington Markets. On this occasion, Michael & Soooz had matching tops. They made such a lovely pair!

The Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree

We have had a couple of pairs of kookaburras in the neighbourhood recently, they raise a racket & they chase off all the other birds from our garden, but I think they have found somewhere to nest now, perhaps in the local park?

Wedding anniversary

Well we have laughed, struggled, complained and ached our way through nine years of married bliss, confusion and joy. But last night we celebrated with some friends, Kazbah & Sooz. Unusual for us as we are not big into celebrations but it was a pleasant meal at a Greek restaurant near and we returned home with tummies fit to burst with souvlakia, taramasalata and Greek salads.
We had ran away to get married......in upstate New York in a delightful little town on the Hudson river , where we stayed with Michael's sister & her family. Her husband married us, he is an Episcopalian Minister. The reception comprised store bought chickens & home made salads, a cake from PriceChoppers, chosen because of the green & gold iced flowers (it was not a wedding cake) and a crowd of Susie's friends. Being September the weather was hot in the morning & a thunderstorm got underway just as we were entering the church at 4pm. The next day we trooped around Stan's Flea market where many a bargain antiquity is to be found. Then we caught the Greyhound bus to Boston for a couple of days. It was a wonderful time!
