DAY OUT TO WARBURTON



Yesterday, we drove out to Warburton for lunch by the river. Fish and chips always tastes better outdoors in the sunshine. We had a lovely afternoon and the new car drove really well.

INCY-WINCY SPIDER

Hello, this is my first Blog.......until a few months ago, I'd never even heard the term so this is all very new to me. It's still very summery here in Victoria, Australia where I live even though the calender tells us it's now autumn. Last night, this is what we had on the wall of our house, a large huntsman spider - thank goodness it decided not to make it's way indoors or the family would have left in a real hurry. The Commonwealth Games finishes on the weekend but it's been a great time for Melbourne with lots going on in and around the city. As a Scot by birth, it was great to see the Scottish team in their kilts and even better to see them winning so many medals.

WE'RE BACK FROM OUR CRUISE What a great time we had on the SUN PRINCESS during our cruise to Fiji, New Caledonia and Vanuatu.  The ship was lovely and the crew were marvellous.  We ate far too much but when you see the food choices, it's hard to resist - not to mention all of the beautiful desserts and cakes.  It'll take me months to work it all off. We visited a number of Fijian villages and were welcomed by everyone.  We enjoyed the cultural side of things as well as fresh coconut straight from the trees.   We went on a boat ride on the river to visit the church and school then on to another village.  Only 4 passengers to a boat and it was pretty fast once we got going. Each village had a little market selling items to tourists.  I bought a few sarongs, a necklace and a wooden souvenir. The beaches were beautiful and on Dravuni Island there's only about 200 inhabitants.  You can walk the length of the island in about 20 min...
