A vineyard at Red Hill
This is a vineyard near Red Hill, a town on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. Through the generosity of my friend Kieren, I got to stay in a beautiful newly constructed architect-designed homestead on Saturday night.
When the vines are full of grapes, Kieren’s family invites their friends over to pick grapes and make wine. To reward us for enduring a day of ‘hard work’ in the glorious sunshine, Kieren’s mum (a most accomplished chef) prepares a feast for us.
I like them ducks.
This pool featured in Poolside Magazine. On Saturday night, we sat in the 37°C water of the spa, drank wine and watched the stars.
This is Jemima. Kieren said, ‘She’s not smart but she’s very photogenic.’ I said something about Jemima being blonde.

I think Jemima looks like she’s got eyeliner on.
(Shouldn’t that be “architecturally-designed”?)

Hmm, not sure what I meant by ‘architecture-designed’
Maybe it should be architect-designed, in fact.

Haha… Well, Joel. You took the photo and I post-processed it so I propose we split the proceeds from the sale of this photo 50:50. Kieren has already bought this photo for the princely sum of $0.00.

My hand’s in the photo, and I haven’t signed a release for it, so I’m afraid I can’t let you publish it at all!
