Picnic before winter

Picnic before winter sets in, which might be a shock for Grandpa but we take every opportunity to unwind and enjoy in-between school and work...

This local spot is a short drive away of about 25 minutes. Tranquil and beautiful....

Happy Easter.

Dear all,

Sorry for the belated Easter wishes but things have been a little frantic and it never seems to slow down.
Anyway we are all well...Enjoying the lovely cool weather..Just got back from the Sunshine coast which is rapidly turning into our favourite holiday home. It's a beautiful apartment on Marcoola, QLD. Google it if you can. But basically we have high sea views with a beach right in front of the apartment and at the rear, a very large swimming pool. Dad say's it's reminiscent of Skipsea...This as you can imagine would keep us all in a relaxed state....But isn't that what holidays should be?

                                    And Edward's love of everything Castle and Knights

All good..

Weekend birthday celebrations at our place with Nigel, Yvette & Jade for Nigel's forthcoming birthday.
Of course we mostly spent the whole weekend overindulging and giggling especially Grandpa, who was enjoying Nigel's playful banter.

After the heat-Comes the rain

You may have seen the news of floods in QLD yet again so we wanted to reassure you that we are fine. However there was devastation to some homes along the river, the town was cut off for a couple of days and our local sports hall was turned into an evacuation centre for those in need. But today however, the sun is out and the waters are receding. We had over 200 ml in 36 hours while others received 500 ml and more!
We are lucky....
