We were thrilled this weekend to show our new home to family members for the first time. My parents-in-law came to visit all the way from Oamaru in NewZealand.
It was a strange weekend, with torrential rain and falling trees on the one hand, and celebrations on the other as we shared our home with others and enjoyed a rare (for us) three generations Father's Day.
For a while on Saturday there were about fifteen in the house, as along with grandparents there were a couple of teenage gatherings, as some headed off to the Royal Adelaide show and others rehearsed for a school performance. Needless to say, an enormous amount of food was consumed!
We also fitted in a spot of antiquing (my mother-in-law's favourite pastime), and this morning I attended the first Essential Edibles event in Adelaide. The second photo in this post shows the back of my head. With uncanny foresightedness, Lisa from Sustainable Communities SA picked the only sunny, non-wet or windy period the entire weekend for our gathering. It was a wonderful time and I came home with lemongrass and rose seedlings, some mandarins and some lemons.
Happy Father's Day to all the Aussie Dads out there!
