The question “Is it a life experience?” has launched us into some amazing cultural exchanges such as volunteering in Tanzania, floating in a canoe down the Amazon, snorkeling in Alaska and walking among the wonderful creatures on the Galapagos Islands.
Woah... getting really into taking photos through a microscope.... has anyone done this?....am going to check if there is a "gadget" to attach to my camera/microscope.
Turtles just pipped at the post - runners up in this season's competition! Great play Caleb......Bravo team.... champions next season.
Those pesky possums have a new home since Caleb blocked up the "Possum Highway" Hopefully they will move back into their little possum house in the Jacaranda tree!!
Just love this restaurant................great meal..........walked home on a sultry evening along the beach and spent the evening chatting on the verandah...............one of my favourite places in the world.
Yeah! Garlic prawns, Thai Beef Salad, Sweet Potato Salad, Chicken Risotto, Bread with balsamic and oils, Tirimasu.............Great company and yummy wine... Go Coralie!
23rd March, 2010 - Hey end of term dinner coincided with my retirement. Lovely to see so many friends and family at a great venue on Narrabeen Lake! Now madly packing for our world trip!!
Great to catch up with Kate on such a glisteningly beautiful day in Manly ... seem to be so many changes in people's lives. Go Kate!
Woah! I was having so much trouble singing the Polovetsian Dances when the lovely Jill said she would help out by playing the Alto line for me! What fun! Thanks to Wanda who helped with all that tricky timing.
Just love the fact that we can do SO many bushwalks all within 20 minutes of where we live. Mermaids Pool - just looks fantastic with so much water.
Finally, finally getting the house back together. Painters came and fixed up ceilings in bedrooms and we decided to put some (just a little) colour in our bedroom!
Such a good night...Wendy & Anne visited from London and Coralie dropped over from Balmain! Far too much good wine, laughter and shared stories. Look forward to catching up in June in London!!!!!
What a fantastic afternoon, walking at Manly Dam, haven't been on that walk for years. Loved meeting up with Linda and Michael - an amazing couple, travelling around Oz at the moment promoting the water system they have developed. Very jealous of their converted bus! They return to Cornwall with a very entrepreneurial plan to set up garden allotments.
This amazing plant "Midnight glory?" not sure I have got the name right blossomed the evening we were there - stunning and the study for Diana's latest painting.
Wow! What a fantastic evening! Hot, hot day and then to Taronga.... forecast rain and storms BUT it was just glorious. Love the feeling of the Harbour moving from a bright day into the blue sky of night. Richard Tognetti was fantastic - So many years since I heard Carnival of the Animals and have NEVER heard the Leunig narration. So good! Jack Thompson who looked so old BUT did a great job. 
Had a lovely evening with Caleb and Jacob at the "Ghetto Restaurant" . They had prepared a great meal ... tuna entree, Thai Beef Salad and Betty Chocolate cake.
