Apparently, she loved the event. My question is, is this an annual thing held in May? We might go there for a visit. It would be lovely if we can catch this event on our trip! Thanks! <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> K
