Go Lionel, Go Lionel!!

The elderly always says that time goes quicker and quicker the older you get. But I already find that time flies so I'm wondering how I'll be when I'm old....
4 years have passed since Shawn and I got together, and last Sunday we celebrated our anniversary.

At brekky, Shawn gave me a little present, a pearl neckless for mummy to be.
Later in the arvo, he packed a picnic bag and drove us to the Sandalford winery in the Swan Valley 45 minutes outside Perth. It was a special night in the valley this Sunday as a major outdoor concert event was going to be held at the winery. There at the vineyard next to the lake we enjoyed the picnic, whilst watching a very mixed crowd with old fans starting to drop in.
At 7.30 the concert kicked off with one of our old favorites, the incomparable Lionel Richie!!! (For those who have no idea who Lionel is, you can sum up his resume with a close to 100 million albums sold, 22 Top 10 hits, five Grammy Awards, an Oscar and a Golden Globe! )

Joining Lionel as special guest artist was Australia's disco diva, Marcia Hines, nowdays probably mostly famous as the "kind judge" on the TV hitshow 'Australian Idol'.

It was a awesome concert with lots of singing along and many laughs! What a great surprise my sweetheart had up his sleeve for our special day!
Thanks for a lovely evening on the green Shawn!!!
