FEBRUARY - René's coming!!

 Exciting to think that René and family will be here on the 25th!!  

can't wait to hug these guys again, arriving for two weeks, a few days down here, the rest in melbourne and travelling around

Gathering photos of Etta for her 4 year old album.  still another 5 months to go

some gorgeous sunrises - sadly due to smoke from the continuing widespread fires in the grampians and to the west

hanky panky at the yacht club

lots of fairy wrens down on the waterfront, one has come into the clubrooms a few times, once doing an investigation of the kitchen hopping from windowsill to fridge and across the floor

Sunny and Etta  came down for a weekend and we had a lovely 

morning at Point Lonsdale where i got bitten by sandflies -  

grrr,  those bites itch for ages!

Had an overnight trip up to the Grampians to see Don - it's always lovely to wander round the property and have a walk up to the lake, so many lovely trees and birds.  this E. macrocarpa was Helen's favourite
