Out and About......

I hope every one had a great week-end, we had a busy week-end here but relaxing at the same time.
The table set for a spring time lunch, thought I would ditch the table cloth and go for place mats for a bit of a change.
Below is a big old tree that is right next to The Old Dairy. A lot of the wood is dead and it is dangerous.
So down she came..A friend from up the creek came down to do this. Ken has been pruning and chopping down trees here for a long time, and last time he was here he mentioned that this tree would need a good prune.
This is only half of the tree, the rest is OK to stay.
William found this hard hat and it didn't leave his head all week end.
As you can see it was a good size trunk to get through.
In the end it was two chain saws going, I am going to have plenty of wood next winter.
Robbie took all these photos and when he sat down I got one of him.
Sunday saw part of the Storey clan going on a picnic to Glen Rock.
Hmmmmm not much fishing as the creek was nearly dry, after all the flooding early on in the year there was lots to see and explore though.
Then time to sit and enjoy the view and a cuppa.
How was your week-end????
Have a great week.
Blessings

Beachbums for a Day....

With weather as nice as ours there's nothing else to do than pack the bus and head to the beach for the day!!!!!!!!!!!
Well it wasn't really my idea.....it was Bronwyns, and I must say for once she had a good idea..We went down on the local school bus agggggghhhhh...To say the children were loud is an understatement....


We went to Mooloolaba around to the point..The water was so blue and calm. We set up in a park right there on the beach and had a picnic for lunch.



Plenty of food and we all ate to much of course..Then after lunch Bronwyn and I went for a walk while her husband Dave kept watch over every-thing..We did get our feet wet but that was all..It was nice just to walk and talk.


Below are the girls posing as teenage girls do..
Cassie, Alanah, Ellen and Melanie. Would you believe that Cassie is older than Mel!!!


The day was over all to soon and time to head home.We stopped at the fruit shop on the way home for fruit and vege, then continued home....






Today though it is back to the house and the beginning of a new week...
Blessings
