Here and there

My sister's going nowhere

Noone at home is going anywhere!

It seems there's a bit of a contrast right now between Scotland and Australia looking at the photos that have been sent to me. As opposed to the endless cold snap gripping the UK right now, we're well and truly heading into summer and although there are as many wet days as others, we're experiencing the odd sunny one too!

Wattamolla - Royal NP

'The Forest Path' - Royal NP

A few of us headed down to the Royal NP last weekend for a spot of snorkeling at Wattamolla before a bit of a walk in the forest. In general, the Australian wildlife has a similar attitude to me in that going out in the middle of the day is silly when it's hot. As a result, there wasn't much about but as I always say, it's just great to get out of the city.

This weekend we went up to see Emily's folks in the Blue Mountains which always means it's time to get the camera out for a wander round the garden. It's also good to hang out with Kiwis when Australia are being hammered in the cricket. Australia is not a bad place to be right now!
