Pa on the Front Page

From Trove

Oaks Day – Ladies Day at Flemington – a day I have often gone to the races.

It is less crowded than the cup and the fashion is more refined (for most).

With our chicken and champagne, and our manicure from the L’Oreal tent, we gave little thought to the work behind the scenes (see my Cup day post ).

An appropriate day to post some photos and articles associated with my Pa’s business:
