BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY

FIRST STOP MORNINGTON MARKET

A beautiful Spring Sunday morning with the temperature heading towards 35 celsius (95F)

My daughter Amy along with little Riley came and picked up Max and I to go to Mornington Market. Melanie my other daughter and her kids Lachlan and Chloe live just around the corner so we picked them up too. Lucky that Amy has a 7 seater to fit us all in.

With such fabulous weather there were heaps of people. Forgot to take my camera with me.

Stopped for a chat with Gail McCormack who was there with husband Tony and all of their fabulous paintings and furniture pieces for sale. 5 year old Chloe just adored all of Gails gorgeous girly ballet pieces. Stop by Gail and Tony's website and take a look at their fabulous work.

After a fun time wandering around the market the kids eating lollipops and hot chips/french fries it was time to head home.

Amy dropped Melanie and her kids at their house, then we dropped Max and Riley at my house,making sure I got my camera this time.

OPEN GARDEN

Amy and I then went to an Open Garden in Mornington called Dalywaters.

The entry fee of $5 went towards Legacy. Legacy is an organisation of veterans, servicemen and women and other volunteers who are dedicated to the care of the dependants of Australian Defence Force members, after the death of a spouse or parent during service, and to Australian and Allied families after operational service.

Dalywaters is a beautiful Mornington Peninsula wedding venue.

Amy in a great covered area. Such a pretty climbing rose

Through these fabulous rusted white gates you can see the chapel

The dam through the gate

Amy amongst the roses and agapanthus that were so full of buds just waiting to burst open.

This is the chapel where there was a lady playing the harp. It sounded beautiful

Such a beautiful setting

The arch here is where the bride would first walk in

She would then turn down this aisle and be on her way to the romantic chapel

Beautiful lavender lined brick pathway leading to the house on the property

Pretty daisies on the deck next to the dam

Blue moon roses

So many gorgeous roses and such a romantic setting

Below are some of the beautiful roses that were in the garden

Gorgeous petals

So many beautiful roses.

The photo is one I took of Ryan putting Amy's engagement ring on last year.

It took a lot of trial and error to get the invitaions to what they are.

All sorts of colours were tried out for the written section.

It was so hard to find a colour that showed up on all the different parts of the photo.

Ryan got to pick the colour.

Amy figured he might as well be able to pick something!!
