Thanksgiving, it’s one of those things we see and hear about a lot in American film and TV but something that is a very distant concept here is Australia. I am all for another holiday which gives you permission to stuff yourself with delicious food and get together with your nearest and dearest.

For my first (true) American style thanksgiving this one was truly incredible, filled with all the food and drink you can imagine (including turkey cupcakes, which were both delicious and adorable). Thepièce de résistance being a rendition of the American anthem played on the electric guitar with red, white an blue lights (I mean it was pretty freaking cool).

Thank you to Shelley and her guests for letting me crash this event and take lots of photos for them.
