Little Rebels

I'm really pleased that Mabel and Kieran have 'Little Rebels' membership for the Melbourne Rebels, and I was even more pleased when they asked me along to the skills and drills day with the players.

Mabel and Kieran had a great time...and so did I!!!

Chocolate Walking Tour

For Christmas Mark, Emma, Mabel and Kieran gave Darren and I a chocolate walking tour in Melbourne, which we got around to using last weekend.  Although we felt slightly sick at the end of it (sugar overload!), it was a very enjoyable way to spend a Sunday afternoon!  So thank you to the Perrys!!!

First stop was Haigh's Chocolates,

Next was Ganache Chocolate,

Followed by Lindt,

And finally Koko Black,

After tastings at each of the chocolate shops, to round off the tour (as if we hadn't had enough sweet stuff) they took us for afternoon tea at Olio Cucina where we had cheesecake and lemon tart!

It's going to take a while to work that lot off!!!!
