The walk from the first hole to the second ...I have never seen our lake so full...



        We still have plenty of Corellas visiting our course but they aren't attacking our greens anymore...

It has been a wet, cold and windy winter this year in Perth...it not only chops and changes from day to day but changes from hour to hour...this photo I took from our bedroom window...very,very dark clouds and rain but also blue sky and soon some sunshine...

At last a sunny Saturday morning ...the ocean, so calm looked like glass...big waves... Pauline, Margot and I had our walk and swim.....the water was the coldest it has been in a long time.


Some photos Tash took which I really love...this is Will dressed as TINTIN for school book week parade...I think TINTIN books are his favourites at the moment...I think he looks fabulous.


Will and Rusty having a quiet time together ...such a precious photo...


Todd and Flynn having dinner at the Cowaramup Bowling Club ....


Mum snuck in and caught this great photo of Ethan reading to Flynn .....Ethan is an amazing reader...he is in year 1 next year.

Pete and I started the day with a visit to Pt Picquet...


....always beautiful



Today is Flynn's 4th birthday ....Tasha suggested we do some climbing at Sugar Loaf Rock...


...exploring...



...such lovely weather ...



...they are agile little rock climbers...





Special treat for Flynn's birthday ....a visit to Simmo's ( Lisa was very happy too).


As well as a fabulous children's playground there was also some well used children's rides ..


In the afternoon Pete and I went for a walk to Quininup Falls ....the last time we saw the falls there was only a trickle of water.


It was a perfect afternoon for a walk...cloudy and no wind ...


....from the falls to the ocean at Quininup Beach.


The clouds came and went, we were so lucky.



A game before bedtime ....


What a sensational day....
