Finally… my second year visa here in Oz has been granted following almost two months waiting for it all to go through. I’ve been in a bit of a limbo until now with the prospect of it possibly not getting accepted. So this was a fitting cause for celebration and occasion to invite my family over for a dinner party in my new home of Lavender Bay.
It may have been a Tuesday evening, but with my sister in town and my visa confirmation, it was more than necessary to pop the bubbly!
My fabulous chef land lady who is a family friend put the evening together and did a marvellous job of prepping and serving a delicious dinner. It was a treat to have the dining table laid as I often sit out on the balcony with my dinner.
We were treated to a one dish delight of chicken thighs, sweet potato, beetroot and spinach drizzled with lemon mint jus and sprinkled with hazelnuts.
What a way to officially welcome in my second year in Sydney by hosting my family to a dinner party in this gorgeous home of Lavender Bay.
