Sal and Colin water Ben’s garden, wow has it grown!

A walk around the lagoon!

The lagoon is alive with native birds, noisy geese, ducks of various kinds and turtles.

Flowering gums are a picture in the suburbs.

A river walk

Yesterday we walked down by the river. The river was low, the surroundings peaceful.

No swimmers or boat people in sight. Lots of debris where we usually swim!

 

 

Holidays Downunder!

Holidays are here, there’s nothing to do but relax!

Picnics in the garden and walks around the lake or bird sanctuary!

 

It goes without saying, reading for hours, such bliss!

 

New Years Eve!

Happy New Year!

Aussie barbeques and lots of sunlight!

 

Swimming and chatting around the Barbie.

 

Walking around a drought stricken lake

 

$8,000,000 worth of taxes in one bang (well ten minutes of fireworks)

 

Summer is really here.

 

Christmas Down Under

Christmas Day loomed bright and sunny. We enjoyed our breakfast on the landing and phone calls galore.

Ailsa & Hec were waiting outside their house for us to take them to church. This was their first Christmas without family ever.

Hec is over ninety & this was their first Christmas alone.

 

We enjoyed catching up with families at church. Kathy nee Hibbard said ‘’Hello’’ to you all. As did Mark Skewes.

 

Thank you for phone calls and greetings. We love you across the oceans, time zones and seasons.

Here are some shots from Christmas lunch at the farm. Happy Christmas to all of you!
