Road Trip!


For those of you unable to follow my Instagram posts,

I have added this video & pics.

A glorious autumn morning, perfect for a walk on this slice of Aussie coast,

with only the sound of the waves.

 

 

These cheeky kookaburras visited us and every other unit every day around dinner time.

 

 

Plus many more of the locals and the view from our unit. Stunning.

Finished quilts & Show and Tell!

It’s hard to believe that we are at the end of October

and yet we still need the heater going.

Overnight temps as low as 3°C with rain, hail and some places snow.

Stitching by the fire

 

The perfect weather to be inside stitching.

This quilt just back from the quilter needs to be bound.

And another day, another quilt that needs binding.

Some wildlife from the Aussie bush, where we are staying.

The kangaroo has a joey in her pouch but unfortunately didn’t come out for us to see.

The magpies are residents that we see all the time.

While searching for images to use in today’s post I came across this one below

and another suggesting to post some photos of our favourite places around

this great country we live in. Some I have posted before and others are totally new.

 

Happy Australia Day
