Mandy on the 7th fairway...loved having her up to WAGC for a game...

 

Michelle's quilt...only have to add the border....then quilt....

I still prefer to quilt by hand...

On Chris and Michelle's bed...I'm so pleased that they love it.

 

West Coast Highway driving north to South Trigg Beach...probably one of the most scenic drives in Perth. 

 

We walked up to Little Sisto for breakfast....

...excellent food...

I thought this was an hilarious shot...

Pete and I visited the State Library in town while Chris and Michelle visited friends. I borrowed some wonderful piano music. We were both surprised at the changes in the city...the Royal Hotel has been refurbished, it's looking fabulous.

We are still discovering fantastic restaurants near by...tonight we visited The Secret Italian restaurant and were not disappointed.

Having both recovered from Covid, Jeremy and Paul are now enjoying Paris...

...and the Palace at Versailles...

 

An early visit to Mettam's Pool...where there's plenty of reef to swim around with goggles and snorkel.

Boys first...adjusting the goggles...

In they go...

Chris and Michelle's first visit to Mettam's Pool....they are keen to return. 

Home for breakfast ...pancakes...with nectarines, mango and blueberries...and maple syrup of course.

 

New Years Day

A great way to start 2024....a game of golf with Sue and Rod at Lake Karrinyup Country Club.

Even the sky looked sensational...

There is an abundance of wildlife at Karrinyup, largely I guess due to the large lake. This little kookaburra was so cute.

Swans on the little  lake....

 

Pete and I enjoyed a very relaxing evening at Brian and Julie's home overlooking the water in Rockingham.

Afternoon view...

Several ours later....

Isn't Poppy adorable!? It was a fabulous night.
