We have had a few weeked trips- one previously mentioned to Melbourne to the gunshow was fun.
More recently we have been away to Warnambool and Port Fairy on the coast. We did plenty of eating, stayed at a nice B&B and tried a spot of whale watching- as you can see from our photo even Mr patient had run out of patience :)We came home via the part of the Great Ocean Rd and re visited some favourite haunts.
Where or where can my whale be---- the things one does for wifey :)
The Groto
None other than the 12 apostles- minus a few :)
The dairy cat has definately adopted us- and won Neil's heart. He visits usally a few time a day- mostly at food times and he sleeps snuggled up on a blanket on our chairs. His latest is too jump on the table next to the BBQ and try his luck- so far no fried cat though he is adventuresome... even sneaking inside at times.
Spot has the art of begging down pat...
Neil takes up a spot of cooking and might I say this childhood favourite he introduced me too was a treat!!! Don't ask the fat content cause in true diary style that is double country cream and chocolate biscuit. One of Neil's workmates works part-time at the icecreamy and brings us the seconds (of which the cream was one). He does look a little dangerous in the kitchen I must say- glad it's a whisk and not a knife.
I (Naomi) have found a nice bible study group which I go to on a Tuesday. I am the youngest by far (like by 30yrs or more) but they ladies are young at heart and we learn heaps and laugh heaps.
I also spend Tuesday arvo at a local respite care centre doing craft with the patients. In fact most of the patients just love to watch and chat while the other volunteers and I craft away and have lunch with them. The patients range in age from about 40 to 60-70yrs. The centre has only just opened and is in this amazing house that has been transformed. The house was acutally built many years ago by one of the guys from church who built it for his family of 7 children. Amazingly all the children
had their own room and ensuite. The guy was a builder and he carved some amazing wood work on every cedar door. A mansion with a great view that makes a perfect respite centre.
Well it is not too long until we move off on our next adventure. We arn't exactly sure where that will take us- though the rough plan is north and into warmer weather :). Possible we may follow the harvest trail out western NSW or south QLD then next year head off to WA, NT and SA but who knows really- we shall see what doors God opens up.
In case you have forgotten what we look like :)
P.S I have taken up hairdressing- hence Neil's rather short style- the longer between cuts the longer between potential disasters as I learn the art of clippers :0
