Sandy, it looks like a great day was had & your cake fits in with the theme perfectly.

Deb, I hope your daughter will realize she needs to take her meds, it's a difficult situation that

Oh, and thanks to those others, for shaking the Welcome Mat with me earlier    You might have noticed that a bit of dirt and grime fell out.

What beautiful photographs of the wedding!  Everything just so natural and earthy, it is one of most splendid weddings I've ever heard of (and seen) thank you,  magic.

 

Love the way all the attendants were dressed too, everything matching everything.  100% in kudos to you and them all, absolutely brilliant, and very Australian country which was the best.

 

Good morning everyone, this very busy weekend is flying by, so by midnight, we'll be well ahead ....  Smiley Very Happy, happy weekend to all xxx

Deb, I know how you must be feeling.  My DD has bi-polar as well but so far, she has not strayed from her medication since she was admitted to the Alfred in one of the highest manic states they have seen.  She was discharged after about 3 weeks then mucked her medication up and ended back in Monash for another 4 weeks.  Since then (about 4 years ago), she has not missed taking her meds.

 

I was worried because they warned us that as they entered another manic state, they told themselves they didn't need the meds and quite often went off them.  At that stage, our DD would not listen to us as that is what happened 4 years ago.  Before she was in that state, I asked her to listen to us if we could see the signs and she agreed, but once she was there she wouldn't and hence, ended up in a bad state where she hated us and wouldn't see us for a long time.  This broke my heart as we had always been very close.

 

I hope all works out for you and your DD - it's a long way to travel (3 hours) so I hope you can help her.  Good Luck!

I don't think people understand punch that without that tunnel trade and transport costs will increase. They have to cover the cost in extra fuel and time wasted getting from one side to the other. 2.5 hours from Tulla to Scoresby for the boys a few weeks ago. 

Worst city I know for traveling from one side to the other. 

Hope promises are kept or will we have another change....making life hard in Victoria.

 

Deb....gorgeous setting for a wedding and love the pics!

Bushie, what a gorgeous flower, what is it please?

TY Tas, it's called a Daylilly, mainly flowers in Summer, then dies down for the cooler months. If you have a spot that gets fully sun, it would prob do well for you. There are heaps of lovely colours and if you leave the rhizomes in the ground/large they will multiply as well.

Thanks so much Bushie, I'll make a note of it xx

What a beautiful wedding!  I love the photos.
