Sunday Lunch

Today was the first day of daylight saving. I don't know who saves all this daylight or where it is all stored.....it takes a bit of getting used to I find. Had to ring my brother who had invited us to lunch, to find out were we meant to be at his place God's time or daylight saving time 12 noon. He said "now" time so that is what we did.Before that though, I'd fed the plants their Sunday treat and went around the garden taking photos of yellow flowers and then found I couldn't go past the red, orange pink and purple flowers, so finished up with quite a collection.This is the lovely butteryellow Iris flower.

  Above is the yellow Daylilly.
  We went to my brother's place where we are always greeted with a choice of the most interesting and exquisite wines.We started with a Grossett Watervale riesling and batted the breeze for a while to settle in.  The entree was garlic prawns accompanied by a Mitchel riesling. I don't think you can beat the Clare area for rieslings. After a goodly interval we had beautiful fillet Mignon with little taters and salad and a great Pepperjack sauvignon.                                                                        

                       
Dessert were crepes in a most delicious orange and Benedictine sauce garnished with blue berries and slices of blood orange, the whole effect one of enticing colours.   The weather though cool, was lovely for being out of doors and though the neighbours decided they needed to chainsaw down their patio posts, it didn't bother us all that much. That, I guess is one of the drawbacks of the small blocks of land in the newer suburbs.
