Continuing from my previous post herewith photos of some plants and flowers as I walked around my garden…. … where I am now concentrating on indigenous plantings. The ground here dries up very quickly as it’s on a slope and I have waged war over many years planting prettiness with minimal success. Prettiness requires …
It was a lazy Sunday today. I spent most of yesterday in the garden after a spot of rain the previous evening making the ground soft and easy for pulling out spent annuals, gathering seeds for next summer, cutting back overgrown plants, weeding and generally enjoying the cooler weather whilst I pottered (if that’s such a word!) Today, after a late-ish …
Tuesdays are our day .. grandparents day .. with Emma. Each week she grows a little more, mentally that is. For a 19 month old, her vocabulary is vast. I have probably forgotten .. in fact I have forgotten .. at what age littlies are supposed to reach milestones. I do get a mental nudge from the sister …
I think we’re in for another drought. Our summer rains seemed to have come and gone. I record rainfall on a monthly basis but am not marvellous at keeping a yearly tally. I record it on the current calendar and compare to the previous year. I used to keep 5 year records but decided there was no point. …
How time is flying !! .. and she is growing up so quickly and getting cuter by the day !! I haven’t taken photos of our little Emma Rose for months .. and months … to be precise since our family holiday with Elaine and Bryan, and Emma, who was 8 months old at that time. I am …
This is my last blog post on our weekend in early Feb, celebrating my 60+ birthday. Hubby and I had a fabulous weekend as we usually do.

A hop, step and a jump from our room at The Cavern is the beginning of the Nature Trail. If you follow the trail a short distance then take the path to the right you end up beside the river in full view of a beautiful waterfall, the sound of which can be heard from the comfort of our room. …
Our last day at The Cavern with rain expected later began with blue skies followed by a light cloud cover. Hubby and I decided not to venture too far due to the forecast of rain so walked part of the Nature Trail towards Mays Falls, took a detour around the falls ..crossing the mountain stream at another …
A glorious sunrise greeted us upon waking the following morning after another night of overnight showers. A promise of a spectacular day ahead? Yes it was .. We have walked most of the trails numerous times, this one included and I have photographed the same picturesque scenes. It is very hard for me not to …
Continuing from previous post .. Hubby and I walked as far as Sungubala Camp gate and returned to the hotel via the Fern Forest. We did the same three years ago on the day before my Mum passed away and on that day I had thoughts of my Mum being there with me, discussing and enjoying the flowers, …
