Love them both.


A trip to the park this morning...such a good climber!


Lunch time for the little ones...


In the hammock with Dad....


Lighting the candles on Mandy's cake that the boys decorated.



Will on the new swing that Todd hung up this afternoon...

Just some of the splendid trees in Tash and Todd's back yard.


Saying goodbye to Mandy and Graeme....

Jenny, Marjorie and Anna...Today was the second round of the Foursomes Championships...Jenny and I played well (after a dreadful game on Tuesday) and won. These three ladies were wonderful to play with.

Pete and I drove down to Cowaramup after my golf game.... a very enjoyable drive. Both of us were so pleased to see the Stokes family...especially Flynn as he is growing up so quickly.

Winter conditions this morning...rough, choppy ocean, full of sand and seaweed. But a blue sky and sunshine.

The impressive view of three fairways from the Gosnells Golf Club's clubhouse. Another perfect day for golf... their Silver/ Bronze.

Dark clouds this morning ...but they didn't stop everyone playing in the Budden Trophy...There was no rain and no wind...the perfect conditions for a photo.


What a surprise we all had as we walked into the Sprig Bar for lunch....new, comfortable, attractive tables and chairs! Sitting at lunch today with Dawn , our Trophy donor are Captain Robin, President Helen and Vice-Captain Ruth. The very appreciative winner of the Trophy was Judy Tompsett. Dawn is an inspiration to all. She is still playing 18 holes of golf twice a week (good golf too) at 86.

 The Coronation of Charles 111 and Camilla




Yes I watched the Coronation on TV today....I wanted to hear all the music. The conductor of the Coronation Orchestra was Sir Antonio Pappano and he was amazing to watch. 


The orchestra played beautifully before the ceremony began...some wonderful Bach.


Pretty Yende, wearing a spectacular yellow dress, performed a new piece by the British composer Sarah Class. Pretty is a South African opera singer.


I loved all the choral music performed by three combined choirs. It was the first time in history, girl choristers sang alongside the boy choristers of Westminster Abbey.


The Ascension Choir sang  a newly composed "Alleluia"...they were fantastic.


I thought I'd pop in a photo of Charles 111...
