Saturday morning walk....Floreat Beach

 

Tash, Todd and Rusty came to dinner tonight, Rusty's first visit to our house. After exploring the back yard and running after a ball countless times, he fell asleep on my lap. I'm glad Todd picked up my phone and took this as he won't fit on my lap for much longer!

 

Well today it rained...we still went down and had a look at the beach, very wild and bleak it looked. Still, we had an enjoyable day looking about the local shops and stopping again in Busselton on the way home for coffee and cake. 

 

Another stunning day down south,how lucky! Pete and I went for a lovely bushwalk around the cape, there were wildflowers in bloom everywhere.

 

And we were fortunate to see some whales and lots of seals (below).

After a quick swim we headed over to Hayshed Hill, the winery where Tash and Todd are getting married, to taste a few wines for the wedding.  I was absolutely thrilled to see the proteas that they had around the place that had been given to them by the protea farm, nearby.

 

All the vines had recently been pruned which made the area look quite different to when we were down last. 

 

After my swim at City Beach this morning, Pete and I drove down south, stopping to visit Dean on the way. By the time we had reached Busselton is was quite warm so we really enjoyed a walk around the foreshore. The water was so calm, the sky so blue, it was so pretty.

 

 

 

These are some of the little apartments of the Bunker Bay Resort where we stayed (ours is in the corner).

 

 

In the late afternoon Pete and I walked around the point then had a swim. Shortly before the swim, I took this photo of the sun shining on the rocks.

 

We quickly raced back to the apartment to change then ran back down to the beach to see the sunset, we weren't disappointed.

 

Today Natalie, Cathy and I went to Cirque du Soleil and saw their latest production "Totem"...this was my birthday present from the girls, how lucky am I. The show was fabulous, I have only seen Cirque du Soleil once before and that was years ago and I was blown away again by the amazing performances.

 

It was looking very dark as I was waiting for Mandy to pick me up this morning.

 

And darker still over the ocean...we decided to have a coffee and wait and see if it cleared. It did a little so we  had our walk. 

 

  After a very cold and rainy day Tash cooked us a delicious  meal (one of the best Pete said) and of course we also had a happy time playing with Rusty before he fell asleep in his crate.
