Australia Day Continued

Hi Again,
We hope you all had a great Australia Day. We celebrated on the 29th and followed up the next day with an Australia Day Skate. Back home preparations for the day generally include mowing the grass before everyone turns up - over here it is a little different but achieves the same aim.


Our friends all turned up ready to party and did themselves proud. Note Donna and Mike with appropriate headwear.


A top time was had by all and just like Australia, after a period of time the groups separated with the boys plus Barb staying in the kitchen to talk men's stuff and,


the girls moving to the sunroom to talk football or something similar.


At some stage during the evening a question was asked about Australia and with the only map to hand being a mouse pad, a geography lesson ensued and now everyone knows where Darwin is.


It was decided during the evening that we would enjoy the outdoors the next day with a skate or a walk in the snow. Kathy, Debbie and Bev all rugged up and kitted out with snowshoes ready to head off into the wilderness.


A top time was had by all and many forgotten muscles made their prescence known the following day.



We would like to finish this post with a great pic of our lovely next door neighbours Suzanne, James and young Evan.


Until next time stay safe and well.

Cheers Ross and Bev
