Cathy and Claire at book club this evening....always a cosy night with the fire, wine and good conversation. This month we read  "The Storied Life of A.J.Fikry" by Gabrielle Zevin, we all agreed it was a very enjoyable read.

Reading in the sun....


Our lemon tree is laden with fruit, luckily we love lemons.


Cookbooks are not something I buy very often but I absolutely love this one.

Perth skyline....I took these photos from the third floor of the State Library.   It will be interesting to look back on these photos in future years.

The same view from our window, but with the blue sky...


Inside the "Crown"...we had an exceptionally relaxing weekend.

After a delicious breakfast at the Crown, Pete and I went for a long walk around the bridges...the Causeway and the Windan bridge. Only a small section of the Burswood golf course remains, these pelicans are enjoying the couple of lakes that are still there.


The new Swan River pedestrian bridge (still being built), which will allow people to walk across the river to the stadium.


The new football stadium , starting to look like a football stadium...next to the Crown.


Swans on the Swan River, with the cranes above the stadium in the distance...


A statue of Captain Willem de Vlamingh , Burswood Park heritage Trail.

Beautiful Perth city at sunset, our view from our room at the "Crown" (my arm reflected in the window on the left)..... A couple of months ago, Pete attended a corporate golf day at Araluen and was lucky enough to win the raffle, two nights at the "Crown" and $200 towards a meal at any of their restaurants. Yippee!
