Visited a different park today...in Scarborough...


Wobbly bridge...a bit scary...



Snack time....



Pete and Will having a serious conversation...


Watching the eclipse...Will is interested in any science subject...


In the afternoon we visited the Lego Shop which I think will be the highlight of their stay in Perth.


Watching "Bluey" and assembling their new lego.


The boys showing James ( a Lego fan also) their new lego ...the Stokes family had dinner with Sofie, James and Ben this evening.


Ethan showing Dad his Lego instructions...


Will playing with Lego in his Lego PJs.


Todd helped Tash preparing the bouquets for their journey to the Wedding party.

Watching the sun rise from Nanna and Grandad's bedroom window.




A visit to the local Primary School's nature park....


Flynn always trying to keep up with the big boys.....


...and he loved running down this hill... Go Flynn!


Another park only metres away...


While Pete and I took the boys to the park, Tash could make a start on preparing the flowers for Todd's cousin's wedding on Friday. The bride and groom are having seven bridesmaids and seven grooms....that's a lot of flowers ...Tash has a real talent.


Listening to all the sounds on Nanna's phone...the boys guessed some of the names of the ring tones.

The Stokes family have arrived....enjoying their colouring books ( a holiday present)


Flynn seems to love books as much as his older brothers.


Luckily our new home has an enormous bath !




A few books before bed...

Young Heidi from WAGC on one of the driving ranges at Lake Karrinyup Golf Course. It is hard to believe that a suburb so close to the city can have so many kangaroos. Mandy and I both played in the Silver Event at Karrinyup today. No great scores but we enjoyed a lovely sunny day on one of the most stunning courses in WA.


It was a shotgun start...everyone walking to their tee.




I'm already looking forward to the next Silver Event.

City Beach when we arrived this morning at 8am. We bravely set out on our walk...


Floreat Beach on our way back to City....how lucky we were.


Some of my closest golfing friends came for morning tea and a peek at our new home. Jonine, Jenny C, Lorenz, Margaret, Pauline, Jane and Jenny F. I feel very fortunate to have such kind and caring friends.


Stunning flowers from the girls...so thoughtful.


....and a gorgeous pot and plant from Jenny F...which I will treasure.

Adele's Birthday Celebration and Laura and Stephen's Farewell


We all met at Lancaster's in the Swan Valley for wine and nibbles....the clouds came and went...


Beautiful vineyard....


Christine, Adele and Margot...


Bernie, Hannah, Geoff and Brian...



Adele, Tash, Laura and Hugh...and Geoff behind.


Adele, Laura, Steve and Bernie


A lovely lady who was passing by took this photo of us all. The colours of the Virginia Creeper were stunning....a really pleasant place.


We then moved on to Lime Burners in the Valley, only ten minutes away, for lunch. 


...the farm next door, it looked beautiful from the car park.


The pergola outside the restaurant...delightful view from my seat at the table inside.


Post lunch chats outside...


Adele was thrilled with her cake...


A splendid speech from Adele...


My happy husband...it was an awesome afternoon.
