Our Time in Townsville ...

This is a post I started in February ... and ... here it is June ... this is one of the drafts I had sitting to be finished .. so I will do just that .. I have not actually posted too many entries at all this year ... which is really not very good at all ... and some of this is really old news ... but must have seemed important at the time .. so I will post it now and get it out of the drafts ... there are a few more in there too waiting to be finished ...

Anyway ....  I will post this as I wrote it back then ... 


What glorious weather we have been having here ... no 'big wet' this year ... woohoo .... not sure if the farmers will agree with me or not .. but I am happy enough the way things are at the moment ..

I have been doing some sewing and I have been having a wonderful time staying with my son and his family ... 

We are just south of Townsville at a little place called
Alligator Creek .. 
our bus parked in the front yard


and we are having a fantastic time ... just sitting around ..... swimming in the pool with the granddaughters ...
and generally doing a lot of very little ...


our BB


 and Shyanne


and let's not forget Poppy along with Bingo & Missy .. 
both dogs wishing they were allowed in the pool 
... can you see Poppy in the corner of the pool ??? ...
he is only just visible .. maybe he is camera shy .. haha


life really does not get too much better than this ...

I did sign up for a couple of mug rug swaps

I did one for a new year swap .. basically the theme was ... My New Year .. and as we were going to be travelling this year I came up with this idea ...



I also did this one .. and in case you are not sure .. it was for St Patrick's day ..



I had to upgrade my camera as well .. my old one was giving me very poor picture quality .. I will miss its simplicity though as the new one is a digital SLR and quite a different camera to use ... mind you if I set it to auto it is sooooooooooo much easier to use ... haha ... one day I will get used to it ...

I am no photographer .. never really aspired to be one either ... my daughter, my niece and my sister are all very good photographers .. but me ... no so ... but as I was wondering around my sons property .. playing with my new toy taking photos of different flowers and plants .. more for focus practice than anything else ... I got this shot ... and didn't even realise it until I was sorting through them on my computer ..



. this rather large bumble bee must have popped in and out of that flower while I was trying to work out which buttons to push ... because I honestly didn't see it in the flower ...



that was some of the time we spent there ...


and to finish off this post .... my precious grand daughters .. 





 Nanni misses you so much it hurts ...
