The Hunt Ball



Well Guys, were home from our night out in Winton at the Annual Hunt Ball.



We had a great time, we were guests at the home of a lady from the riding club, and we were made very welcome.

Here is a picture of us all before going to the Ball,

I really had a great time, we had cocktails and nibbles before we went, we drove in style
.....in the horse box (hay bales and duvets for seats) and we partied till 2ish?



The Southlanders know how to party, they were up on the dance floor from about 8.30pm, none of the UK's sit at the tables not wanting to get up because they'll be the first and then doing a mad dash onto the dance floor before the last 10mins of the band! The food was excellent, drink was cheap - £20 for a Jug of Rum & coke...heavy on the rum!

The Singer was great, he could sing Elvis/Johnny Cash etc, to new hits (the advert for the AUS tourism theme tune is one that he did real well-I dont know who sings it but I was dancing to it thinking where have I heard this before?? then it clicked)

Then we went back to the farm and carried on the party, luckily the weather men got it wrong again, although it did start to rain as we were getting out the tub....can you see what time it says!


oooppps....I think the water level was too high....it poured over the side when I got in....luckily the camera ran out of batteries

We are all off to Cromwell in October....I just need to buy a few essential items first.....a Horse, a Trials Bike - or two!
