We are in our new home!!

Well, we have certainly had a busy few weeks but we are now settled into our new pad - our home, not just a house - we feel so comfortable already and just love being able to potter and do bits and pieces to our home!! We have had visitors already - Jude's brother Wayne stayed Fri and Sat night and family friends Lynore and Peter stayed Sat night - it was lovely. Click on the pics to enlarge them.

Bushfire in our area!!

This weekend there was a rather nasty bushfire - about 4km from our house. We had ash and burnt gum leaves falling in the front and back garden and the smell of smoke was very strong and at times made you choke. Felt so sorry for those who had the fire come right up to their fence line, made us think again of those in the Victorian fires. This is the closest we ever want to get to a bush fire!!!

Our fun weekend in Perth and York

Friday night Ray and Jude went to Gloucester Park with friends Sue and Doug. We had a great night but didn't win a thing, the horses had the last laugh!! We stayed overnight at the Parmelia Hilton Hotel in Perth which was a real treat and very relaxing. The next day after a yummy breakfast we ended up driving to York which is the oldest inland town in Western Australia. The weather was beautiful and we strolled along the cobbled streets and went in and out of shops and museums. We then slowly made our way back home. A wonderful time had by us both.
