My weekend

May 01, 2006 17:39


There aren't any photos yet because I took my film camera with me instead of my old compact digital camera, because it has a zoom and works a lot better in bad light. I'll get them back tomorrow.

Hmm. 25 years ago, eh? Could he be a closet B7 fan? :-) I didn't

Didn't what? Ask?

Glad you had a good time. 8-)

We did!

Yeah, I didn't think to ask. I blame the wine. He was so glad I liked the name Vilagrad, he offered me a glass on the house but I decided I'd reached my limit. :-P

It all sounds like a very Vila-ish trip, one way and another!

It was! I wish I could have taken him with us.

A lovely weekend - and a great way to celebrate your birthday.

The Vilagrad people were really enterprising, expanding beyond just the wine-making like they did. It sounds like they've made a huge success of it, too.

I'll look forward to the pictures!

They're very successful. I think a lot of Hamilton's glitterati were there; there were certainly a lot of beautiful people posing among the ordinary party-goers like me. They host quite a few overseas acts too. The Vila Brothers grew up in the entertainment world, so it's no wonder they're so talented in that as well as wine and cuisine.

I hope the pics turn out well. It was hard trying to snap the dancers, they moved so fast.

Oh and Pieter told me that they're thinking of opening a Vilagrad in Auckland. I'll be there!

Ooh! Will there be pics of the Vila Brothers? I can see Vila in a band!

I think I only got two of them from pretty far away. :-(

Yes, I can see Vila on drums or guitar.

And singing! I'm sure he'd love stepping up to the microphone to sing!

And he's probably pretty good too!

Sounds like an entertaining and relaxing weekend. And fittingly b7ish too.

It was lovely! I wish I could have taken Vila. He'd have loved it all and been very chuffed that Deltas are so well catered for.
