Us in Selly Oak / Weoley Castle 2000

2010 - Red Poles

The picture on the left was taken in the year 2000 when Matt and I started seeing each other. I can’t believe that this picture on the right was taken in 2010 (10 years later!) Time has flown and when you think back ten years an awful lot has happened.  Nice things of course There’s no way that in the year 2000 whilst sat in Weoley Castle in my ground floor bedroom I’d have thought that in 2010 I’d be living in Australia.  No way at all!

But, we are and so we can go to lovely places  We decided to go to Red Poles for lunch today.  It’s in one of my favourite locations.  Right in the middle of all those yummy vineyards My memories of the place had not done it justice.  It’s so beautiful and calm; perfect for a Sunday afternoon.

YOM! I NEED one of those tea cosies!!! AWESOME

There are moments in your life when you feel a bit overwhelmed by loveliness. Red Poles does that to me.  We were sat under the veranda which is draped in a beautiful grape vine and fairy lights, looking out across a vineyard, lawns and a pool full of long grass (no water i don’t think!).  There’s someone playing guitar and singing lovely, soothing soft live music about 100 yards behind you and food and drink is brought to you on request.  The food is amazing.  Fresh, tasty, homecooked.  YOM!  Being the Brit I am I even managed to finish my luncheon with  a cream tea   Perfection.

ooohh… and I nipped to Foggos to get some of last years Cincaut Rose   Double YOM!!
