The gardens look colourfully tranquil but I prefer the b&w ones especially the sky in the TarraWarra one. I'm envious of your "superlative" lunch, as there are no lunches anywhere here other than the ones I cook, but I lack the necessary "superlative skills! Anyway, it doesn't look a bad place to be in lockdown. A friend of mine who flew with his wife to Perth in mid February for six weeks to stay with his son and new grandson is now marooned out there. Keep safe.
