25 Years

Today Peter and I celebrated 25 years of wedded bliss (well most of the time). With our upcoming trip to Sydney and Hayman Island we celebrated with a wine and Thai food with Sarah...
There are a lot more grey hairs, less hair and wrinkles but after raisinig 3 beautiful daughters we wouldn't have it any other way!...Looking forward to the next 25!

City to Surf

Janelle and a few friends from Trinity ran in the City to Surf again this year. Janelle ran the 12km...
It was a lovely day weather wise and Janelle had a great run - she came 11th out of 2578 in her age group and 34th out of the 6499 females that ran the 12km! Her time was 53.35min almost exactly the same as last year...Now to start training for next years!

Late winter in the garden

Lots of new life happening in the garden even though it has been wet and cold.
This poor little plant got very burnt by the hot summer sun then we transplanted it and it has still managed to produce lovely white bell shaped flowers...Our new Cherry Blossom tree has lost its leaves and producing beautiful pink flowers...My Blueberry plant has flowered and hopefully we might see our first fruit in the coming months...The Brocollini has gone to seed but the yellow flowers look great and the bees love them...A fresh new crop of baby beetroot has just been planted...Tiny Gerberas are emerging from the big leaves...My Tulips have popped out of the soil and growing rapidly (first attempt at growing these)...The Roses are all shooting nicely...This Orchid which we thought had died in the summer heat is about to flower...A tomato plant is flowering and baby bean plants growing nicely...Roll on Spring bringing sunshine and colour.

1920's Style

Janelle's friend Emma recently celebrated her 21st with a 1920's themed party. We had found Janelle a cute little dress to wear earlier in the year, then she found a few more accessories and really looked the part!...With birthday girl Emma...With friend Lexi...And dancing the night away...Janelle thoroughly enjoyed herself.

A few days later they were in totally different costumes for a Harry Potter Quiz night - called "Sirius Quizness" (after a Harry Potter character) for UWA Med students...

They didn't win but had great fun.
