Where Have We Been?

Everywhere man. Went to the Egyptian Exhibition from the Louvre. Hydroponics Express. Fruit tree nurseries. University of West Australia. Mandurah for soccer. Bunbury for a workshop for a workshop with the freehand guru Susan Campbell. Dwellingup for fun. Donnelly River for the weekend. via Quindanning, Collie, Mumballup, Kirup, Balingup, Greenbushes and Bridgetown. While we were there we went to Nannup. On the way home we stopped in Bridgetown for a cup of coffee and a piece of cake. It started to rain and Tim was on his motor bike. Found that the grove of oak trees in Bridgetown that we always have a look at had dropped it's acorns and they were sprouting. 100 acorns = 100 oak trees? Bought some lovely local vegetables in Kirup and had a pie or three. Kirup is known for it's pies (lasagna, thai, vegetable, chilli and its various derivations, etc) and Kirup Syrup. Haven't had Kirup Syrup yet. Maybe next time and when I'm not driving. Stopped along the way and bought some pumpkins, yes I know that it is out of season for pumpkins, however pumpkins store very well.




Oh and I'm soooo behind with my insanity challenge. That's all changed now and I'm right up there on schedule.




In the last four months we have saved $19 off our electricity bill. If I paid the wretched thing on time we would have saved $22.



The main street of Nannup at 3.30pm



These two trucks were at Donnelly River and I thought the differences were amazing

Those are some good lookin' young-uns there, albeit a bit cheeky by the grins on the faces. It sounds like you had a really great time, nice to pack every thing in like that.I must admit western australian names sound weird to me, but then northern SA has Orroroo and Wirrabarra and suchlike....
