Road trips

Greetings Dear Readers,

I have been on two fun road trips lately. The first one was down to hubby's home state, Victoria. We spent a few days with his old friends from university, something we do every year now. The house was in Point Lonsdale which had a nice pier and lighthouse. We also did some touring around the area. It also involved good food and wine of course, even a train trip from Drysdale to Queenscliff on the Bellarine Peninsular Railway for hubby, was factored in.

After that we went to Melbourne for a family lunch and caught up with hubby's uncle as well. He's a natty gentleman whom it is always fun to meet up with. Just before having lunch with the family we went for a drive to the Dandenong Ranges and visited a Rhododendron park which was beautiful, but oh, so cold.


My sister in law also took me to see her yarn art in Bonbeach. It was great! It seems to become very popular now, covering stuff with knitting or crocheting. I saw a whole caravan totally covered somewhere on our second trip.

The second trip took me all the way to Queensland. Our daughter had a job-related meeting there, so we decided to make it an outing. It also meant that we could pick up our son on the Gold Coast with all his photographic equipment so he could join us for the last three days. He had had a "shoot" of a CEO and it was done in a couple of hours.  Hubby had to work and our daughter's boyfriend as well so it was only the three of us but we had good fun.

These "moms" both had little joeys in their
pouches but they were very camera shy.

This has been sitting here unpublished for a few days because I was going to add on to it and sort out the photos but it never happened so here we go. I'll get it out there and write more another time. Until then, take care and be kind!
