Another visit to Lambley Gardens

 My sister visited this week so we had a little outing to Creswick

 and then onto Lambley Gardens.



It was a rather warm day with some random spots of rain that did not trouble us.


The garden is so well maintained.


Rosehips!


We spent some time in conversation with one of the groundsman 

who obviously enjoys his job there.



An oasis on any day!




Do you have a favourite garden or nursery to visit?


Happy days!

Scenes from around....


A classic bike show in Maldon.



                        A lovely fabric panel in a waiting room


A tree felled in recent storms


A morning sunrise


Gum picked on my morning walk


Some llamas in a nearby paddock, 

looking for their breakfast I think!

Life is slow in the country,

just how I like it!

Popping In!

I've been on a little holiday, 

so not much to share about the last few weeks.

I have enjoyed these plants on a recent walk!






This old tractor caught my attention this morning with the 


angle of the sun highlighting the long shadows.




 Happy days!

It's been a while

We've had our share of cool clear mornings,



and the odd Summer rain storm.


Can you see my random Hollyhock there?

  It is particularly peaceful down by the creek before the day heats up.


We had a morning in Avoca, exploring the gravel roads on our bikes. 


Note the name of the lane!


It wasn't a huge ride but it was wonderful to be out in the fresh air, sunshine and quiet roads.


I couldn't resist taking a couple of photos of this majestic gum 

tree standing tall beside the Avoca river.



 Til next time!

Out and About


A morning in Maldon.....


Cycling.....


and lunch!


A morning walk,


where the beautiful changing sky


caught my eye!



The Mister's veggie patch is flourishing!


Pumpkins and zucchini!



Finally, this Australian sheepdog was getting his morning exercise, 

 

rounding up this small flock of sheep!


And in case I don't get back here.....

From the "Visit Cornwall" site


Merry Christmas!

Where have I been?

It seems I have been flitting here and flitting there....

An aborted cycle along the Castlemaine to Maldon Trail proved too rocky and rough for me!


So we took a stop at Mickleford to check out the old station. 



The three grandsons came for a 4-day visit in the school holidays!


A visit to Inglewood, the home of Reg Ansett....


 and lots of fun vintage shops!


Four days in Melbourne, visiting friends.... 


and celebrating our wedding anniversary at Supernormal!


A visit to view the Archibald Prize in Mornington. 

These are three of my favourite pieces....


Sam Neill


This one was tiny!

and finally a day spa visit in Fingal, down near Rye. 



Home again, home again jiggety jig!
