We were there for Sam and Holly’s wedding
in a Margaret River winery,

This afternoon I read more of ‘Cover Her Face’ by P.D. James.
This evening we dined on tender roast breast of lamb; boiled new potatoes; crunchy carrots; firm Brussels sprouts, and meaty gravy, with which I drank Les Aumôniers Séguret Côtes du Rhône Villages 2022.
