New carport


Well, our new carport is finally finished, with all floors, drivewar and path to the clothes line completed. Now, we (read 'I') are starting on the yard. Where the tree was uprooted on Dobson's fenceline, has all be left beautifully so I have replaced the fence (of a sort0 and discovered it's a perfect place for a vegie garden. Think I will do them in all raised pots - have just seeded cherry tomatoes, passionfruit, capsicum, basil, Black Russian tomatoes and lettuce for a start. Am quite excited because I really thought I'd missed out on a vegie garden this year.

Million Paws Walk on the Strand


this is my first post for ages -
Last Sunday, we went over and joined Drew, Kate, Jack and Will, with Lady and Chiquita for the million paws walk on the strand. Everything was going great until I stepped into a hole and went up to my calf - luckily I was only shaken (got me out of the walk, anyway). Had a lovely time with the family - what a great venue the strand is, lovely to see everyone using it.
