G & G Downunder

Grandad Len and Georgie on Crams Dam, 10km or so north of our place...















with views of Mt Warning in the background. We all canoed and Jenny enjoyed the effect on her tummy muscles, almost as good as mowing!













Three generations - Auntie Kerry, Gina, Georgie, Jenny, Mum/Kay. I hadn't seen Auntie Kerry for 22 years. She and husband Donald made a special trip all the way up from Tasmania to see G & G while they were here - fantastic!








Georgie, Len and Sinbad on Wooli beach, playing around in the surf





Georgie swimming in the crystal clear Wooli river







Drippy castles rock! Georgie hones her dripping technique with expert tutoring from Gina at Byron Bay










Lunch in the Byron beach cafe










Strolling on the beach at Byron
















Party time - G & G's last weekend
,
never mind the rain, lets have a bbq on the community house verandah, eating steak won by Georgie at the pub raffle!

Gingham ribbons are required attire!












































































Silly times, best of times!

And some time later....

Shortly after the last post, way back in ........, the Yucca, or whatever it is, flowered and has continued to flower since. Given that Tam is 5' 5", this is without doubt the largest flower I've ever seen! Estimates of its actual height are very welcome.

We've been rather busy with the visiting G's (Jenny's sister Gina & niece Georgie), who left Aus for their return trip to Blighty the day before yesterday. Their departure has left an enormous gap - 8 weeks was plenty time to get very used to having them around.

ITS RAINING RELLIES: Jake & girlfriend Charlie arrive in Sydney next Wednesday; sister Kerry arrives Brisbane a week later; EJ, Jake's aunty, arrives mid-May......look, please, if you're thinking of visiting, wait a while, PLEASE!

Let us know that you've had a look at the blog so that we feel inspired to keep it going, and particularly given that I, Jenny, lost all my emails recently. That's another story just NOT worth telling......bloody computers! Email: jenmartin@aapt.net.au

That'll do for now, more updates soon.
