Awesome April Week one Pick strawberries.
Walk the long lines of fields and pick some of the last of the crop of the Peninsula s strawberries at Sunny Ridge Strawberry Farm, Main Ridge.
Do not leave without going to the fridge and taking out a few containers of their farm ice-cream to take home.
The only problem you may have is deciding how many flavours to buy Dont forget the Easter Egg Hunt at the racecourse.
Week two Enjoy a picnic in a vineyard.
Montalto Vineyard Olive Grove, Red Hill South has three ideal locations dotted throughout its property.
This is indeed a picnic with a difference offering fine picnicking under tall gums, beside a dam, or tucked away near an orchard.
The table is set with white linen, quality crockery, glassware and cutlery.
All goods are delivered by the Estate s Morris Minor Week three Hire a bike There are so many bicycle tracks dotted across the Peninsula for all to enjoy.
Take it slowly though, particularly if you have not ridden for many years and remember helmets are essential.

Fly a kite along the foreshore Week four Paint a Picture.
If you are like me, skills in this area of creativity are not that of a budding artist.
however, you can enjoy classes in a relaxed atmosphere at the Cheryl Petersen Galleries, Somerville.
You may not necessarily come out having painted something like a highly prized Rembrandt, but what you have achieved will indeed become your own special accomplishment and maybe even a family treasure Now I know that perhaps this list that we have shared and started haven t we is not what you had in mind, but then again we don t want to become too regimented.
Simply enjoy the moments.
If you have any special locations or activities that you want to share, then please let me know and we can add them to our joint Resolution Chart.
Our backyard is filled with hidden gems, delicious dining, activities aplenty, wonderful wine, great shopping in fact, the only place to be Of course, this bit of fun and frivolity is not what all Australians are enjoying at the moment, so please take a moment to reflect Thinking of You All We often delight in the Summer rains a little relief from the heat for not only ourselves, but also our gardens.
However, the 2011 Summer rains have caused so much havoc and heartbreak particularly in Queensland and Victoria.
Our thoughts are with those who have lost loved ones, their livelihoods, their homes as well as pets and livestock.
Friends, family members and strangers continue to work alongside those whose lives have been changed forever, in an effort to help them to get back on their feet .
As a nation we pull together in times of such adversity and our Aussie spirit always stands tall and true for our fellow Australians in need.
Images of the destruction will remain with us for a long time.
Just know that we are thinking of you all Until next time Cheers CrazylowpricesonallDiamondJewellery Cheapest Diamonds in Australia Guaranteed GIA Certified Diamond Specialist FOR AN APPOINTMENT CALL 1300 230 430 SUITE 8 UPPER LEVEL 20-22 RANELAGH DRIVE, MT ELIZA www.di amond coco .com .au www.gdlife.com.au 9
