Ozy Ozy Oi Oi

Forget the ill-fated and rather pathetic Wallabies.  There are other great Australians in sport this weekend.

Casey Stoner won the Moto GP World Championship:

Mark Webber shared the limelight in winning the F1 Constructor’s Championship with fellow Red Bull team member Sebastion Vettell:

And the Kangaroos demolished the Kiwis – how sweet that must have been!

Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport

Well if the Wallabies couldn’t the Kangaroos could.

That’s the other game with a Rugby ball in case you’re wondering.  A game beloved by down to earth northern men. 

None of your Rugby Union public school  Nancy boys here.  These are real men!

Tuscany 2011

Just back from our annual trip to Tuscany for a week.  This year we had the pleasure of catching up with some old friends from Melbourne – Phoebe and Santo – who by happenstance were staying in Creti, Val di Chiana no more than 30 miles away.  So we were able to spend some time with them at their villa:

We had a wonderful day in Pienza for lunch and later in Bagno Vignoni, the Medici spa town:

All in all a great week!
