Morning walk to Altona Beach with Monty...so tranquil...

I love walking around the suburbs in Melbourne...no matter what season it is, there are always stunning flowers in people's front gardens. At the moment the azaleas are in full bloom.

So many delightful plants that I have never seen before...

There was a large bush full of these protea flowers in one rather small front yard...absolutely one of my favourite flowers.

....Lots of trees flowering as well.

 

Great to spend some time with Chris and Michelle before they leave on their trip to Europe.

 

Pete and I flew into Melbourne today...we are here to mind Monty for the next 7 days...and we get to explore more of Melbourne.

 

Matilda Bay

...the beautiful Swan River

I had coffee at the Bayside Kitchen with Renate, Natalie and Sharan...lovely ladies that I used to work with for many years....we couldn't remember the last time that we were all together.

In the afternoon I had an appointment with Ashleigh my hairdresser....when we walked out of the salon I looked up and saw these stunning clouds...

Took a few more photos when I arrived home....the sky looked amazing...

Lauren and Lucy went to watch Jeremy's netball game....love this photo.

 

This is Lake Jackadder in Woodlands, the suburb next to Doubleview. I shop at the Farmer Jacks across the road and these men are often by the lake with their remote control yachts..it must have been a little difficult today as there was hardly any breeze. What a great hobby!

 

View to the ocean from the Royal Fremantle Golf course. A fabulous day for golf ( although mine wasn't so great) and a delicious lunch with some new friends.

 

Flynn's birthday was actually on the 16th but Tash thought it best to celebrate on Sunday....with both Todd and Will who will be at home. Tash posted this photo...it is so sweet, I love the way Will has his arm around his little brother and Ethan's and Flynn's big smiles. 

Lauren and Lucy came for dinner. Lauren is one of Jeremy's best friends...they debated together when they were in high school. Lauren lives in Canberra and is over for a couple of weeks to visit her family.

Jeremy is quite confident nursing young babies...so many of his friends have had babies this year.

Look at that smile (Lucy's)...Paul took these photos for me...we had a most enjoyable night.
