BACK FROM SOUTH AFRICA
Peter has arrived home safely, just takes a day or 2 to adjust. I don't think I would ever adjust after his wonderful experience.
WHAT A FANTASTIC TIME WAS HAD. Peter, Annie and friends Peter & Terri were absolutely TREATED LIKE KINGS & QUEENS during their stay. DAVID & RITA RODWELL, Peter's long time friends, were THE MOST AMAZING HOSTS, Peter said you would have to have been there to take in THE GENEROSITY LAVISHED ON THEM. IT WAS A VERY SPECIAL TIME AND UNFORGETTABLE.
Peter was amazed as he said David & Rita's Palatial Home is like a Hotel where they are entertaining Visitors that can arrive anytime from early AM and also late in the PM and they included them in everything and from that Peter has met and made some wonderful and interesting new friends.
LEAD BY DAVID'S Busy Schedule for their visit, they were treated to a SUPRISE with Tickets to the U2 CONCERT, they had the BEST TIME.
Then they followed on with a BREAKFAST AT TABLETOP MOUNTAIN. I can only imagine that. EVERY DAY WAS SPECIAL TO THEM.
Peter also enjoyed catching up with JENNIFER, David's Sister who he has a long standing friendship with.
Peter also spent time with other good friends RAYMOND & ANNIE who have a Home at the world renown CLIFTON BEACH in Capetown. Again they were lavished upon, especially an evening where they were treated to a Traditional Braai and Magical Music from an African Band, Raymond's Home actually protrudes over part of the Beach, again Peter says it is hard to paint a picture. Unfortunately Raymond is quite ill but in saying that - 'Their Doors are Always Open'.
On the Business Side of Things - Peter explored the avenues available for a possible STEAKHOUSE in the future. So that will be another exciting venture for him.
WHAT WONDERFUL HOSPITABLE FRIENDS PETER HAS.
THE SHOOTOUT just outside their Hotel CERTAINLY DIDN'T DAMPEN THEIR UNIQUE EXPERIENCE - BUT DOES KEEP YOU ON YOUR TOES!!!!!! Peter said.
AMELIA PARK
WEDDING BELLS
Peter has generously offered good friend and Partner/Manager at V & V Walsh - Paul Crane, Amelia Park to hold his Wedding to Christine.
We all wish them a HAPPY WEDDING DAY and I'm sure with the weather as it is Amelia Park will make a splendid venue for them all.
Peter unfortunately has to say NO to all the many enquiries he has for functions here. He can only allow close Friends and Family Members the use of his amenities.
AMELIAS DELIGHT
FIRST UP WIN - WHAT A SLASHER IN THE 1400m RACE.
Peter was thrilled with the performance and excited about the coming months racing.
REMINDER - 'NIGHT UNDER THE STARS' SATURDAY 5TH MARCH
For AMELIA PARK II & III SYNDICATES.
D O N ' T M I S S T H I S G R E A T N I G H T
SYNDICATE III HORSE PARADE DAY & SAUSAGE SIZZLE MARCH 20TH
Peter is looking forward with the upcoming Syndicate. He says the horses that have been chosen have some great Bloodlines so will be exciting to see them come thru and hopefully give the Syndicate a great showing.
Peter has also said that people who are not necessarily in the Syndicate but would be interested in seeing the Horse Parade ARE MOST WELCOME.
SO FOLKS - COME ALONG AND ENJOY THE DAY!
AMELIA PARK WINES - G O L D G O L D B R O N Z E
Peter is ecstatic that 2 GOLD for the CABERNET MERLOT and SBS have been awarded at the SYDNEY ROYAL WINE SHOW, together with a BRONZE for the red MISHMASH. Peter gives all CREDIT TO JEREMY. He had the Top Credentials when Peter went into Partnership with him winning othe coveted Awards AND HE STILL CONTINUES WITH THE TOP RESULTS
Peter said the CABERNET MERLOT which was also JUDGED ON TOP INTERNATIONALLY HAS WON MORE MEDALS IN ITS FIRST YEAR THAN A GENERAL . It has nearly Sold Out so a good time to get a Carton or 2 and put away (yes put away) AS A LIMITED EDITION it will certainly make for pleasing the palate in the future.
TONIGHT'S DINNER AT AMELIA PARK
Peter is Hosting a Dinner for Dion Luciani, Jason Whiting and Clint Harvey, I THINK HE WILL BE TELLING THEM HOW TO RIDE WINNERS BY THE END OF THE EVENING!!!!!!!!!!
Enjoy your Weekend everyone and look forward to reporting next week.
WE SEND ALL OUR PRAYERS AND HOPE FOR THE PEOPLE OF CHRISTCHURCH
regards
Shelley
