The Things You See in Suburbia







TeamSAK were enjoying a fine Melbourne Saturday munching on a "gourmet" lunch when we heard the unmistakable clip clop of horse feet. Ok - we live in a fairly green area with a river at the end of the street but for all intents and purposes we are "inner city". Kingsley and I grabbed our hats and sunnies and headed out to investigate.





Two horse drawn carriages were waiting patiently for their passengers. A collection of interested neighbours gathered , while the kids patted the horses, watched them being fed and having their "poo bags" attached. An extra long white stretch limousine arrived and the gig was up.



It wasn't an elaborate children's party activity but the transport for a very beautiful bride and her 6 attendants. None of us knew her or of her but we all wished her well. The Bride left for the church a mere 40 minutes after the scheduled departure.

How lovely! So nice of your neighbours to lay on Saturday afternoon entertainment.

There's nothing like a wedding to bring out the whole neighbourhood to wish the bride well.

What fun! I bet the neighborhood kids were thrilled to see such an unusual sight! 40 minutes late doesn't sound too bad.
