We are down south this weekend...spent the day with Flynn while Mum was teaching...after a coffee and cake Flynn enjoyed playing in this car while Pete did some shopping.

...we spent some time at the Margaret River train park (that's what we call it)...

....such a happy chap....

In the late afternoon we all went to the Margaret River Brewhouse restaurant to celebrate Tash and Todd's friend and neighbour, Jez's 50th birthday ...we ate outside while the kids ran around the fabulous playground...the kids were happy to see the kookaburras...so was I...

Obviously it is a popular spot....the food was fantastic ...

A final photo taken...the birthday boy's can't be seen, holding his two daughters, Polly and Asher..Todd is holding Will and Ethan...Jez's dad, Ron is holding Max (his grandson) and Tash is holding Flynn...it was a really lovely evening.

A beautiful tree I noticed on our way to the car....they look so majestic at sunset...

This is a photo taken by Chris who is in Salt Lake City....aren't the mountains stunning... he is there for work...

 

What a fabulous lunch we had today to celebrate Janine's birthday....Deb, Jane W, Janine and Jane E.....at Tom's Italian Restaurant over looking the ocean at North Beach. Great food and wonderful company. 

 

I'm enjoying working on this new quilt and so grateful that I have a whole room to sew in and put all the pieces together ....

Very happy with my first attempt at making sauerkraut....it tastes delicious ...I was inspired by Tash who has been successfully making her own for quite a while.

 

Saturday morning at City Beach ...it was sooooo still ....

Pauline, Margot and Jenny ...enjoying the warm ...warmer than usual...water.

Facing the sun but a good photo I think ...such lovely ladies.

 

On our golf course this morning...one of our many Zamia palms ...its fruit is quite stunning.....pretty hot on the course today but always happy to be playing...

 

Our first book club meeting for 2025 ...and we discussed the book I chose ....everyone thoroughly enjoyed it "The Frozen River" and we had a great discussion .

 

Pete's birthday today....an early swim at Trigg Beach....

....beautiful warm water ....and waves...

Enjoyed a coffee after our swim....

After a delicious lunch at Voyager Kitchen, Pete and I went and saw "A Complete Unknown". Timothee Chalamet acted the part of Bob Dylan ...he was outstanding! We really loved the film .
