Sketches at Wedding Location

from w
We were really too busy to do much sketching but I found some white paper on the back of three maps to get to St Alban's and beyond, so did some scribbly drawings of a tree, a small hill opposite, and the place where the wedding ceremony took place. For a wedding gift I gave one small framed print of a sketch I had made at a garden shop, and various other prints the couple can use if they wish. One however I signed upside down - in a hurry - of Lake Connewarre! Okay, some kind of art it doesn't matter which way up I suppose! I've put that picture at the top of this post.

And the kookaburras laughed

Yesterday we attended a delightful wedding up past St Albans, more than two hours drive out of Sydney. Our nephew Alex married Laura and what a pleasure it was to be in a beautiful landscape meeting up with relatives and making new friends. During the ceremony there was some funny poems and statements read, and suddenly there was a huge chorus of kookaburras laughnng loud and clear above us! This was a real rural setting yet there was a large tent for the dinner, and decorations everywhere, tents for the campers and pigs and lamb roasting on spits. Greek food. Pictures to come later when we are back in Geelong. Blessings on the young couple Alex and Laura in their great adventure.
