Today we had the pleasure of attending Jeremy's Admission Ceremony at the Supreme Court of Western Australia. It was a really interesting and enjoyable occasion and we were so proud of Jeremy.

 

 

After the ceremony we, and all the other parents and grads were invited to a morning tea at Allens....again, most enjoyable, Pete and I were so impressed with everyone from Allens, such friendly people...below is the wonderful view over the Swan River from their offices.

 

Today I played in the Women's Silver Spoon playoff at Lakelands Golf course. The course is surrounded by strawberry farms, flower farms and paddocks of horses, a little different to my inner city golf club. It was a dreadful day weather wise (you can see why it is called Lakelands) but I enjoyed the game, played with Jan from Mandurah and Joy from Bolgart.

 

Murray Street mall in winter....Pete and I had a lovely afternoon shopping, bought him a new suit for the wedding...it is so unfair how easy it is for men to buy clothes!

 

Saturday morning walk....Floreat Beach

 

Tash, Todd and Rusty came to dinner tonight, Rusty's first visit to our house. After exploring the back yard and running after a ball countless times, he fell asleep on my lap. I'm glad Todd picked up my phone and took this as he won't fit on my lap for much longer!

 

Well today it rained...we still went down and had a look at the beach, very wild and bleak it looked. Still, we had an enjoyable day looking about the local shops and stopping again in Busselton on the way home for coffee and cake. 

 

Another stunning day down south,how lucky! Pete and I went for a lovely bushwalk around the cape, there were wildflowers in bloom everywhere.

 

And we were fortunate to see some whales and lots of seals (below).

 

Sugarloaf Rock taken from further north at Windmills.  Not just the bay, even the ocean was like glass!

 

After a quick swim we headed over to Hayshed Hill, the winery where Tash and Todd are getting married, to taste a few wines for the wedding.  I was absolutely thrilled to see the proteas that they had around the place that had been given to them by the protea farm, nearby.

 

All the vines had recently been pruned which made the area look quite different to when we were down last.
