My children like giving me plenty of prior warning ~ not. So it was no surprise that OT should ring as the MOTH & I were headed to the mainland on Friday to ask if we were free for Saturday lunch @ Sirromet.
Sirromet is the local winery, & like most wineries in Australia also hosts a restaurant ~ in Sirromet's case 3! What Sirromet is notorious for in this house is being the very first venue ODD performed at on a rock concert sized stage as the opening act for the Ten Tenors, a performance I never saw as I refused to pay $80 to sit on the grass without food or water amongst a crowd that was rock concert size! So I had never done more than drive round the circuit to abandon & collect my child.
I had looked @ the Lurleen restaurant menu several times but it never had something I was prepared to eat @ a time I wanted, so being shouted for lunch @ any of the alternatives was certainly going to be novel.
We ended up @ the Cellar Door, not really sure why we were there but not adverse to a free feed either. Ostensibly we were there to spend time getting to know OT's fiance ~ but we have meet her several times & like her very much indeed. However we are becoming a bit of a licorice all sorts family. T1 is married to a Zimbabwean, The Chile Girl has a Chile Boy & now OT has an AngloIndian ~ not that we care about her ancestry but, as she pointed out, we do have to deal with her culture & honouring parents [yes, her husband's as well as her own] is very important & she wanted to make absolutely sure we were happy to have her in the family & saw no impediment to a successful union. We don't & are wildly happy!
We had a lovely lunch & as a bonus saw heaps of the small fawn wallabies that graze between the grape vines.
What a lovely group of people! She is a looker and may she be a treasured blessing to your family.
ReplyDeleteShe is lovely. We are very happy for them both.
