The last few days

first is a close up of the little book cover I am doing in Maggie Grey's on line class for those who have bought her book, Textile Translations, then there is a photo of the two Welsh Pony judges I have been entertaining after our very succesful All Welsh Show over the week end. They are from Holland and the tall one Aart Zoet from the Vikarien Stud and Herman Valk from the Wildzang Stud.
We did extremely well under them which was a thrill and they had never heard of our stud Rivington until they came to stay.
So the second photo was looking at the vines and garden of Fox Creek Winery in McLaren Vale where we tasted some wine and also went up to D'Arenberg, they loved the views across the vineyards and lots of photos were taken.
Then yesterday we looked at different views, so here is first Aart on the beach at Goolwa and then Herman photographing the beach, they loved the beaches and said they had had very little time to see them, I think they enjoyed their stay with us, John chased kangaroos for them, they took loads of photos of the birds and parrots we have around in the paddocks and garden and of course saw the ponies.
I wonder if they will remember who is what when they get home!! They told us they must have seen over 2000 ponies on their trip. I think they got a bit ponied out and were happy to look at views and wander around the farm.
John and I certainly enjoyed having them to stay with us.
