Up and down the mountain

I had a quick trip up the mountain to see the kids. The garden is looking very pretty at the moment, with mainly veges, and a few flowers growing!

the grapefruit are also looking very healthy...

Allan had a tank installed after Christmas...that should help the poor water starved town and garden...as well as it had to be plumbed into the toilets, to get a government rebate!

Oh, and I had a little birthday surprise while I was there. They agve me a lovely dinner and cake, and a little technologically challenging present!

While I was there a big package came for Rebecca...she had won "high school musical" package of things as a prize in a competition! To say she was thrilled would be a bit of an understatement!

I called in at a winery (no, not to sample) or even tour, but to take some photos of the scenery from there..on the top of a hill!

It was right next door to a little country cemetery (the "Anglican cemetery")!

and then when I got back home the lorikeets were having a lovely time in the drizzly rain we had been having in the backyard!

a red flowering frangipani at the little cemetery!

and who could resist a couple of photos from the latest grandchild?

Well, I hope you have enjoyed my birthday! I did!

Jo says it is snowing again. It had just warmed up to 9 and 11 degrees, and then it went back down to minus 3 and snowing again.
