The final day of the Senior Ladies Golf season at Lakelands Golf Club...me, Vanitha (Gosnells), Lynn (Gosnells) and Peta (Karrinyup).....

Seven of the top 10 Nett winners for the year....I came 3rd.

WAGC winners...on the day and throughout the year.

Perfect day for golf!

 

Natasha's birthday afternoon drinks....Ethan, Jo holding Flynn, Brodie holding Mackie and Mandy holding Elise.

Singing Happy Birthday...Tash with Ethan, Bethany, Will and Isaac. Birthday celebrations are so much fun with the little kids.

 

Lunch with these lovely ladies at the Oxford Hotel today. Back row from the left is Margaret, Jane, Lorenz, Jane, Sue and Jonnine and in the front row, me, Judith, Barb, Pauline and Fran. (I might never wear that dress again, I look huge!). We had a wonderful afternoon.

 

The winners on our golf season Closing Day were Pauline, Lorenz, Margaret and Jenny. I was so pleased for them, they have played together every closing day and this is the first time they have one.

 

Fun with the boys in the park....

 

Today was Members Invitation Day....Tuesday is always ladies day but today we women got to invite a  male member to be our partner in a 4BBB par competition. Pete and I didn't win but we played better than we usually do together, so pretty happy. 

 

Champagne tonight to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of my number 2 book club. We always enjoy our discussions of the books we read and our chats about what is going on in our lives at the moment.

 

Paul's birthday lunch today....this is Will reading his card to Paul...so sweet.

Chatting to Flynn...

 

Nice to be back on our home course.....

Dinner at Mummucc, just Pete and I, thanks to our lovely children for the voucher that they gave to Pete for Father's Day.

 

Dropped in to see Tash,Todd and their boys on our way home from down south. Ethan and Will were very interested to see our holiday photos. 

 

The Indian Ocean near Cape Leeuwin....can see why there have been so many ship wrecks on this part of the coastline over the years.

Pete and I enjoyed walking down to this rather isolated beach, called Skippy Rock.

....and more isolated beaches a little north of Skippy Rock.

Two Hooded Plovers....

We were a little disappointed to arrive at the Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse and find that the lighthouse is undergoing repair and maintenance. But we still enjoyed walking around the area, where the two oceans meet.

The Southern Ocean...

The Indian Ocean...and the pretty flowers amongst the rocks.

On our way back to Augusta we saw this amazing field of wildflowers.

In the afternoon Pete and I went for a walk along the beach and the river.

Walking towards the Blackwood River mouth....quite windy...enjoyed watching the kite surfers.

The Blackwood River seems to be home for many pelicans.

Looking back towards the ocean.

On our way back home...the river mouth is popular amongst both kite surfers and fishermen.

 

After a very enjoyable weekend playing golf in Busselton Pete and I set off to Augusta for a couple of nights. Our first stop on the way was Voyager Estate Winery. It is one of the most beautiful wineries in WA. The gardens are stunning.

Next stop was Boronup karri forest...

Hamelin Bay ....glorious beach

Our accommodation in Augusta has wonderful views of the ocean and the river mouth.

 

This weekend Pete and I are in Busselton to play in the Leaney Cup. This little brook runs beside the golf course.

After our morning game, Pete and I drove down to the coast, visited Yallingup and Canal Rocks.

 

Darling Flynn...such a content little fellow...so often smiling.

Throwing seed pods into the river...

Watching the ducks...
