The last few days

 

We left home last Saturday for a day of meetings and a dinner for the Welsh pony and Cob society of Australia annual meeting and the launch of the book on the history of the society for the last 40 years. All rather a rush and went far too quickly, there is a photo in this collage of Mark Bullen, Joan McKinley and Bob Owen holding the book. We then headed down to stay with the family at Beaumaris, more rush and we were so tired we were not sure what we were doing so did very little, had lunch at Ricketts Point where a red wattle bird had decided to investigate the sugar on the table, they are a large honey eater and are not usually as bold as this. I took a few photos as we walked home from lunch. then up to the Gold coast via Sydney and 2 1/2 hours late but did arrive eventually, even more tired, to have family and friends in for dinner, poor Jill had been running all day. It was her 70th birthday the next day and it sheeted down with rain all day. A photo of John reading his speech a photo of all the birthday people in that week, Kay, June, birthday girl Jill, her brother Scott, 2 years older and also born on the same day as Jill and Andy. I think the odd photo of the rain sheeting down, and then to lunch the next day, a typical gold Coast house on the water, lovely. Today we shopped and not a lot has been done, thank goodness. i am off for a short zizz.
