This morning we drove up to Swan Valley and had breakfast with Brad and Margaret at Taylor's Arts and Coffee House.

Margaret browsing in the studio at some of the beautiful items for sale by Jude Taylor. We had such a nice time, great place for breakfast.

In all the years that we have been going to City Beach I have never seen the sand look like it did this morning...little pieces of sea weed and the windswept sand around them...it looked quite amazing.

There were only the three of us, Marjolijn, Pauline and me. We didn't get wet but it was blowing a gale and the water was freezing and very rough.

On our walk to the shops with Dean this morning, Mandy and I noticed this gorgeous vine growing along a fence...Hovea I think.

Rusty slept peacefully while we enjoyed a delicious dinner with Ash and Todd, Jo and Ash.

Cold grey day at Curtin today...this is one of the balconies from the Public Health building.

Today I played in the Joondalup Silver. It is one of my favourite golf courses and I played well 88/73 and really enjoyed the company, Martina from Joondalup and Etzeko from Royal Perth.

A rainy Sunday...

Walking the beach in winter...

My birthday present from my darling husband...new irons and bag...the new iron covers from my friend Nola....first game with them today.

More celebrations this morning...after our swim and walk I had a delicious breakfast at Odyssea with my beach girls.

Dinner with Jeremy...always special

I'm glad I have this photo Tash posted on Instagram to remind me of the lovely evening I had with her and Todd, so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter and son-in-law.

Before Tash, Todd and Jeremy headed back to Perth, we visited one of the many coffee shops in Denmark and enjoyed a nice hot coffee...Jeremy enjoyed his chips and coke, love Tasha's face.

After saying goodbye to the kids, Mandy, Gra, Pete and I went for a walk along the river...

...the mouth of the river and Wilson Inlet....

...reflections ...

In the evening we were invited to Mandy and Graeme's friend's home. Neil and Leanne cooked us a very hearty meal. I loved their old but newly recovered lounge suit and also their cute and very well behaved dog called Hugo.
