Sunday tripper

I'm off to Hamilton for the day, so I'll catch up with my f-list when I get back.

We're meeting a friend for lunch, then we're all going to the Hamilton Gardens, which are done in different styles (Japanese, Egyptian etc) and very beautiful. I shall get pictures.

And in the evening, it's the Vilagrad Winery for dinner and a show: comedy with Gary McCormick and Tim Shadbolt, though only [livejournal.com profile] trixieteitz and [livejournal.com profile] imhilien will know who they are.

'Vilagrad', incidentally, means 'hometown', but it's perfect for our Vila--they do a lot of parties--and he could supply Stark's Bar in Auckland. :-)

Sounds like fun. Have a good time :)

Oh, I do wish Vila could have got to visit the Vilagrad Winery!

He would love it, and he'd make a wonderful host. I'm going to the Harvest Festival next month and they have 'exotic Brazilian dancers'; I'll look out for red fur. ;-)

I was very impressed with the wine, the food, and the beautiful venue; I'll report later today.
