Australia Day

A warm and lovely morning. We were up early to go into Victor Harbor to attend the Australia Day Celebrations. I forgot my camera! so these are from Johns smart phone. We have a wonderful town band and we have a very talented new young drummer, I was told he was about eleven, he had a wonderful time and was very good. too many people to get the whole band in the photo, its amazing how just as you get a decent photo set up some one walks in front. Our band is used at a lot of local functions. The other photo is of the local Australia Day recipients, a very nice young man who volunteers and mentors a lot, we should have more like him, named Mat Morley who was the young citizen and an ex High school principal and volunteer extrodinaire, who was the Citizen of the Year Peter Francis, with our local State MP Michael Pengilly, our Mayor, Graham Philp and our local Federal MP Jamie Briggs. Nine new citizens were sworn in and a good crowd of people. It did get rather hot but they managed to finish the whole thing in an hour. we were going to walk but had got a bit hot and bothered and felt we wwere a bit dressed up so came home to a cool, for the moment house, it is warming up again this week. Tonight I will bake a small lamb roast as it is traditional to have lamb on Australia Day, not a bbq lunch for us as we will take things a bit quietly today. John was an Australia Day award winner a few years ago so we make a point of always attending.
