okay im guilty

I have neglected my blog! But I have proof I have not been idle. I was privileged to be part of the Marysville's World's Longest Lunch 2010 team. There was a team of nine and we worked hard to bring the event to Maryton Park B&B in Marysville on Friday 12 March. It was a great day! Jamie Oliver was the main guest who enjoyed the local fare with 200 guests in a lush green valley with almost velvet looking burnt trees as the backdrop. Here we enjoyed trout, wine, olives and much more by the regions finest chefs and great hospitality from the volunteer wait staff. Check out photos from the day. Now I promise to keep up the blog posts !!
