Holidays

My darling and I have set off on our annual trip north to visit relatives. It is a long journey but the countryside is pure 'Australian' and the country towns, if we take a detour, are just lovely. Our first stop is with his parents who still live in the beautiful bushland suburb of Canberra where he grew up.


His mum had heart surgery two years ago and now goes on a hilly, bush walk each morning to keep fit and well. She is amazing as she strides out. This morning we accompanied her and saw many beautiful birds nesting including gang gangs and rosellas. The wattle blossom was gorgeous and the gums quite stunning like this scribbly gum.


It is the perfect time of year to travel as the spring weather is just right and the landscape still green after winter. Our next stop is with my aunt in Sydney.
