On day 2 of our holiday on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Bernie took us to his favourite winery for a tasting, lunch and a walk through their sculpture park. Mornington Peninsular is quite famous for its wine.
Banjo shows me the entrance to the "Pt Leo Estate Winery"
It was a beautiful restaurant overlooking the sculpture park and Port Phillip Bay. Bernie uses his celebrity charm to organise us a good table and service. (For new readers, who don't know, our SIL is an actor.)
The family, we only get together a few times a year as we all live in different states but at least they are all in Australia now. Carol and David lived in London for 9 years and Sonya and family lived in LA for 5 years.
Starters: A carrot soufflé and I can't remember the one below. I forgot to take the main course.
After lunch we were to walk around the sculpture park. Bill took one step outside and said, "i'm not going." The weather had turned windy and very cold. It was below 12°C with an icy wind off the South Pole. I couldn't believe the eastern part of Victoria was suffering a heatwave of 39°C and raging bushfires and here, just south of Melbourne, it was freezing.
I started walking with the rest of the family but it was awfully cold and windy. The boys are used to this type of weather.
I asked Fox to take a photo of me freezing.
The sculptures were spread out over a big area and they were very interesting. The one on the right changed its shape when you looked at it from different angles.
This was my favourite of the few that I saw. I was too cold to bother taking photos of the information plaques so I can't tell you the artists.
The others hurried off to see more but I 'baled' and returned to the warm restaurant.
I'm a true Queenslander and love the hot weather.
