Our summer this year started with a trip up to Noosa for a few days rest before the hectic Festive season begins.
Despite the rain we managed to get out and about a fair bit and even bought some beautiful artwork for home.
Christmas was held at home and it turned out to be a really nice day early so we managed to get to see lots of family at 3 different destinations.
Ann’s family at home, John’s mum at Clive & Terese’s and Julie’s Family up at Melinda’s place.
we decided to take a trip up to Smithy early and went up on New Years Eve for a 3 week stay.
Amy and her friends Lauren, Angie & Renee spent a few days with us and the weather was great so a bit of Beaching and boating was enjoyed.
After a few days to ourselves and the tousands of Bats at dusk where lazyness was the order of the day we arranged for the annual clearing to be done and at the same time we planted more of the new front garden.
Our next visitors were Peter & Kim Nass and Paul English who had a couple of lovely days with us and we even got a few beach days and fishing in and Kim was the master Fisher woman.
The surf was really good for the first few weeks so John was very happy.
John & Kath Watkins were the next visitors and they too got some good weather in between the rain so we managed to get some boating in amongst scrabble and Majogn.
When we got home it was only for a few days before it was off to Melbourne for Georgi & Matt’s wedding which was a wonderful experience to be part of.
We had a few extra days in Melbourne so the change of scenery was most welcomed and enjoyed.
