A weekend of speed and blessings!!

Last night saw us attend the opening of the new season of speedway at KwinanaMotorplex and we had a blast - it was fast and furious and we were so close to the action we were covered in mud and dirt as the cars went flying round the track. Then today we went into Freo for lunch and to attend the Blessing of the Fleet ceremony which marks a major milestone in 2008 – 60 years of celebrating the new fishing season. First introduced locally by Italian migrant fishermen in 1948, it’s become an important annual event for the port, combining culture and history in a day of fun. A gorgeous sunny day and what better way to spend it but in Fremantle people watching!!

October fun and frolics

Ray's nephew Jonny and girlfriend Sarah came & stayed for a few days after touring Asia for 4 months. They are on a round the world trip. They visited an aussie wildlife park, we all went whale watching off the coast of Fremantle and then had a meal at Outback Jacks in Freo where they tasted crocodile and kangaroo!!
NEWS ALERT - Ray now has a job with the City of Melville which he starts on the 14th Oct.
