Christmas holidays

In the distance you can see the wind powered turbines that generate lots of power for the town of Cowra and surrounds. It is called a wind farm. There are ten of them in the distance. Because there is no noise or pollution the site is so peaceful. On the right is the campting ground and picnic facilities. If only generating power could be this user friendly to the environment in more locations.
DH and I decided to spend and few days out west and visited a little historical town called Millthorpe, outside Cowra. We walked and took in the sites. I couldn't get over this doubled fronted building with hydrangas growing underneath the verandah. So colourful. I hope you can see the distinct and vivid colours. This little town has had quite a few movies shot there on location as it has so many buildings in tact as they were many years ago.
This photo is of my husband Don and Graham on the dingy rowing off to shore from our boat. The area we set ancore at was an Island off the Gold Coast. Very popular for day trippers. Mum and I decided to stay on the boat and organise the lunch and have a swim.


My husband and I went to the Gold Coast to visit and spend Christmas with my mum and her new husband Graham. One of those days was spent visitng Vesage, a holiday resort that is open to the public for meals and Hi tea. We decided to have Hi tea instead of lunch, plenty of food for all four of us. Little sandwiches, cakes, scones, jam & cream, tea and coffee. Just like I used to have as a little girl with my Aunty Ellie. Very special. Very civilized. I'd like to see more of these old pass times come back to slow us down and spend time with friends.
