greetings
Champs seems still be the preferred drink for ladies at Freestyle Tout ....
i love this quote from :Madame Bollinger one of the grandes dames of Champagne

"I drink Champagne when I'm happy and when I'm sad, "Sometimes I drink it when I'm alone. When I have company, I consider it obligatory. I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and drink it when I am. Otherwise, I never touch it - unless I'm thirsty."

I was fortunate once to have a personal tour of the house of Bollinger ...wow
however thats another Story....

Hens parties seem to be the flavour of the moment at freestyle
loads of girls booking in for wicked dessert ,champagne and coffee deal we have at the restaurant ,nice way of catching up with friends before the big day...
Louise our Restaurant Manager loves overseeing these and makes sure all runs smoothly ...
also loads of interest for Freestyle Escape as features in Qld Brides Magazine for girlie weekends away with pamper endulgences and/or artclasses with bubbles....champs that is :) so much more civilised than doing veil on head and pub crawl thing ..yuk!

Sorry all I have been busy busy spending most my time at the farm and with all the rain and sun we've had the grass is out of control.
herb garden is looking awesome though.....
I am trying despereately to get it all pretty for a friend's wedding in a couple of weeks.



Wow, Kate French's sculpture classes are amazing. She has been up to the Freestyle Escape with several classes on the property. totally blown away with what people can produce ....

Last month Tom, Yvette and I did one of her three day workshops. We stayed at this cute little cottage called Windermere nestled in rainforest at Mount Tambourine. Windermere is a short walk from Kate's studio. There were 11 students all ages and we all chose different subjects i did my friend Catherine ( the sassy scupture on the left of pic ,tom did a work colleague sculpture on right )

Yvette sculpted herself , she really got the piece to capture her personality ,while mine doesnt quite look like Catherine i am happy with her ,Tom's sculpture really looks like his lady at work
Kate is an amazing teacher

if you didnt know already i love supporting and showcasing qld produce
something i do at qldfbi.com.au but thats another post ... : )
at the moment the Restaurant has been vey busy as we have been doing 2 courses with a class of wine ,$30.00 going over very well ....
the wine is from Symphony hill from the granite belt ,Ewan and his team put out some lovely wines do try one if you see anywhere...
