Australia Day Breakfast

To celebrate Australia Day this year, Sue and Gerd hosted a breakfast function at their house.

It was a great day for it, and unlike the previous few weeks where we had been suffering a heatwave, the day was sunny and mild.

We started with champagne in the back yard before moving inside for breakfast.  There were tables set out throughout the house to seat the large number of people who attended, with the tables arrayed with various items of Australiana such as jars of Vegemite.

We were served a hearty breakfast and had a great time, lubricated with either champagne or tea and coffee.  Mid-morning, many people drifted off because they had other things to do, but a solid contingent continued because they hadn't run out of champagne.  Breakfast became lunch (toasted cheese and tomato sandwiches), and then became afternoon tea (after a quick trip to the grog shop to top up the supply of champagne).  Sue even found a bottle of Passion Pop in the cupboard, but unfortunately it wasn't cold.  I think she was saving it for a special occasion.

Philippa got all creative with some table decorations, and I suspect she'll now have a new line in hats.  Although looking at the photos, maybe not.  You be the judge.
