Happenings

We have had to go to Perth twice on the past week. Firstly we went to the Vines Resort for a bank staff early Christmas gathering. We played some golf and were very disappointed we could only just get in 9 holes instead of the 18 we were allowed. This was because of a large group of idiots going extremely slow in front of us. They eventually got kicked off the course but that didn't help us.

They have some seriously large bunkers on the course...

The motel is set amongst the grape vines and is very pretty at this time of the year...

We had a lovely smorgasbord tea and called in at the Midland Markets on the way home the next morning.

Next trip up this weekend was for a formal bank function for some of the states "better" business customers. We booked into the Sheraton and got frocked up then caught the bank bus out to Sandalford Winery for a cocktail evening with finger food and way too many drinks.

Two guys singing were the entertainment and they were great.There were marques set up and lounge chairs around, it looked great...

Peter over indulged himself with wine and consequently couldn't eat any breakfast or drive home. This is as far as the paving got that day...

With a bit of rest he put in a big effort the next day and finished the job...

Just waitin for the bubbles to arrive now.

Janelle did some tripping around the south west with her uni friends before Bronte headed back to Adelaide. They went down to Margaret River and then to Manjimup.

She was very brave and both Bronte and her climbed the Glouster Tree. Her legs were a bit shaky at the top...

Nicole did a trip to Perth on the weekend and "surprised" us with a new tatoo.
