We were warmly welcomed on Saturday morning at the beautiful Yarra Valley home of Robyn Reid and Ćhris Hall. Those are Robyn’s roses on the table.

Above, Ćhris Hall with Jay, Lily and Eli, touring the not so little piece of heaven he and Robyn Reid call home.

Robyn (with some help from Ćhris) has created a paradise of spectacular flowers, fruit trees, herbs, and honeybees.

In response to Lily and Eli’s request, we headed out to see koalas and kangaroos – and numerous other creatures – at the Healesville animal sanctuary.

We had a close encounter with the koalas

Saturday night, lots of amazing food and lots of laughs. Best sleepover ever.

On Sunday morning, the best Eggs Benedict 😋. Then, off for more food touring!

Chocolate world

Followed by artisanal gin and a visit to Moët Chandon.
