I think this will be my favourite book for 2024...it is brilliantly written...not only has it words, it also has incredible drawings...not only is it a marvellous story , it is set in Brisbane ...many of the places mentioned I remembered.

 

Our study is now also the putting practice room....

 

The skate park in Margaret River....

I think he would have stayed there all day....

Sunset on our way home....the whole sky was coloured in gold and pink....

....the gorgeous sunset made the drive so much more enjoyable.

 

Early morning puzzles...good pals...

Flynn loves his racing cars...

Margaret River children's playground ...it has this lovely old train that the boys like to  visit...

...and the playground is next to the Margaret River....

...good climbers....

Cowaramup Primary School....I thought their motto was excellent.

 

After walking Ethan and Will to school, Flynn and I stood and watched  these 28s having a bath...

Flynn enjoyed climbing on every cow we passed on our walk to the park.....Cowaramup is known as Cow Town.

Mum's home, after work.....

What a smile!

 

Morning walk to Smith's Beach...

So spectacular...

Not so spectacular...

Mandy on the beach....sensational sky...

Mandy and Peter on the beach....

I walked up the beach to look at the rocks...

....and I spotted a Southwestern Carpet Python all curled up asleep between the rocks.

Beautiful waves...

We saw a pod of dolphins catching the waves....

Hopefully we will be back again soon.

Arrived in Cowaramup in the late afternoon.... so happy to see the Stokes family...

 

Rain!!!! Pete and I couldn't remember when we last saw rain....

...not really good weather for our road trip to Dunsborough...but so nice for a change...

After our arrival in Dunsborough and a brief hello to Mandy and Graeme, Pete and I set off for a swim. So happy that it  wasn't raining down in the south. Before a swim we went for a peak at the ocean...this is looking north from Sugarloaf Rock. I just love this coastline.

Beautiful Point Picquet...the sun came out... great swim.

Getting ready for the party tonight....Margot, Mandy and me...all three of us in blue and white.

Pete, Hugh, Graeme and Jeff...a serious discussion I think.

Me, Laura, Mandy, Tash and Margot.....it was a fabulous night!
