I noticed this pretty tree on campus this afternoon. I had never seen one like it before, the white flowers, heart shaped leaves and long brown seed pods. It was hard to find on Google, it is a catalpa.

Today was the first day of the summer season and the first day for our new Vice Captain Jonnine and Captain Anne. Needless to say there has been quite a lot of joking about the height difference! They are both terrific ladies who will do a great job.

Uncle Pete and Macario.... Pete is in Sydney , caddying last week for Gareth in the NSW Open and then this week in the Australian Open. He was really looking forward to catching up with Phil, Carlo and Macario.

Another beautiful photo from Pete...three generations of the Franssen family, Carlota's mum Daniella, Carlota and Macario.

Loooong  bales of hay

The shearing shed, I'd never seen one before.

Northam silos, paintings by UK artist Phlegm...he was inspired by the Hot Air balloons, something that the Avon valley is famous for.

Today at the club, we had our Annual General Meeting followed by a delicious three course lunch to celebrate the end of another golfing season. The year's prizes were announced ( I won the Div 1 Silver Spoon ) and then there was entertainment and dancing. In the photo above are from left Dawn (who is 82 and still plays 18 holes off a 21 handicap), Jane, me, Jan (who was this year's captain) and Sue. 

My day off today and I spent the morning with Tash and her little god-daughter Bethany and Bethany's mum Amy and Amy's mum , Rosemary. We took the dogs to the park and sat in the glorious sunshine with a coffee.

Rusty and Amy's dog, Roger.

A beautiful Monday morning at Curtin University (Department of Architecture in the distance).
