A far cry from the chilly nights in country Kyneton.
Our friends Nick and Tanya were married and we were not to miss it for all teh tea in China.
A planned trip and our first family holiday.
Sylvia and Mike also on vacation, joined by Carole and Barry Hynes who are such good family friends. Mum was the celebrant to marry Nick and Tanya and did a truly magical job.
3pm, still, warm afternoon sun beaming towards the point where we gathered, surrounded by amazing milky skies, pale glistening waters and layered mountains, I doubt there are many locations in the world more beautiful.
Tanya arrived by boat, her brothers carried her ashore over the rocky beach. tears loomed in everyones eyes.
the feast afterwards was truly amazing. seafood to die for. I was very excited and felt spoilt.
So Josh, Otis and I spent our days in the sun strolling, eating, lazing by the pool and chatting to friends and family also there for the wedding. It was lovelty to stay in accommodation where others to enjoyed company. Nick's 2 sisters Lonnie and Vanessa were such great company along with their partners and Bella.
The Sunday market is a favourite. Multi talented locals display their crafts. anything from Daintree grown rare breed orchids to local mango icy poles.
The colours are green.....so many greens, so alive and vivid. The vegetation strong and wild. The air sweet and sticky.
We did sneak a look at the boathouse where we stayed last year on our 'romantic' vacation prior to the arrival of Otis.
But that's life and we are blessed with this incredibly beautiful, spirited little man.
Otis was a hit with all. Poolside and beyond. He is a real charmer and has a wicked smile and giggle. Only at 3am and many other times during the nights it somehow loses it's charm !!
Otis is eating pureed pears, sweet potato and apple and loving it.
Gorgeous friends Mischee and Reddog were there with their 2 monkeys Lena and Isabella. So nice to spend time with old friends. It was 16 years since I first met them and lived in Port.
We are happy to be home and have nestled in well to the very cool nights and the totally different skyline, smell, colour and atmosphere of our new town.
Farmers markets are on every weekend where we purchase local produce. The wood fire is going and we are rugged up in woolies.
love to all.

Now rugged up in winter gear, I cannot believe just 2 weeks ago we looked so healthy and, felt wonderful. Perhaps we need to think about a family re-location!!
It was certainly a delightful time, and very special to be there as a family and with very dear friends.
Yes, Otis is indeed a 'star'
