While the weather forecast predicted doom and gloom, greater forces seemed to be at work, and kept all the rain away, replacing it with sunshine and blue skies.

Everyone was in a great mood, although the nerves were starting to show as the big moment crept closer. But in the end, everything went to plan and the day was a huge success. Congratulations Ange & Chris! You couldn’t have asked for a better day.

We took a quick trip down to the old train station for a bit of fun, with the old buildings, tracks and a few very happy people.

The weather was perfect, the setting was beautiful and the smiles were everywhere. Congratulations to both Emily and Chad on their engagement — if you need any photos while you’re in Thailand, let me know!

The end of the year has rolled around again, so it’s time for the Christmas parties to begin. Today was a family fun day at the Adelaide Zoo. All the kids had a great time under the rotunda, even with the weather a bit hit and miss at times.

Of course, the main event was Santa Claus. Everyone had a go, but not everyone was all that happy to see him!
