The Two That Got Away
Though we tried not to focus on the fact, it is true that today is our last full day at Goolwa. Dave and I spent some time up in the adult’s lounge this morning while the kids went to a Junior Masterchef Masterclass (Marine Cove style). We played pool and did a bit of work … Continue reading
Relentless
Wind…Water…Sun…elements that shape the world we live in. Today, we took a walk to Granite Island, off the coast of Victor Harbor. Crossing the causeway and following the path around the island, I stopped to look at (and photograph) many things (no, I didn’t do it just as a way of pacing my walk). The … Continue reading
Fish and bits
No coastal holiday is complete without a spot of fishing….and today was our day to spend wetting the line. Due to limited space in the car, we had not brought our own rods and tackle, though fortunately the boys had a few rods and were able to bring them along and share with the girls. … Continue reading

Our trip to Adelaide this Christmas is to spend time with Dave’s family, who all live in the southern parts of Australia, around Adelaide and Melbourne. Now, this isn’t the first … Continue reading
Getting re-acquainted

Whenever we travel, it is always a challenge for the girls to make friends, not because they aren’t nice girls, but because … Continue reading
Watching grass grow – ‘Like’
A road trip involves spending a lot of time ‘on the road’ and whilst I don’t mind it at all, at times it can get a little bit bland. Our trip today started with us travelling through an area called the ‘Mallee’, which is primarily large expanses of low bushes, interspersed with the occasional small cluster … Continue reading
Finally….
Well, you may have noticed that our countdown clock to our departure for Adelaide has stopped ticking….hooray….for that means we are on our way. We left home yesterday morning, relatively on time, excepting the slight delay due to our concern for our puppy that is being left at home. Poor Bella cannot make this trip, … Continue reading
