Easter at Narooma

Our last trip to the NSW coast before winter.


  Easter morning and following an email from the Easter Bunny, we made our way to one of the more remote beaches in search of eggs.

 
Katie shows Immi and Holly the large Red Herrings whilst I “check” the beach for chocolate eggs   

Wow! eggs galore


Sugar high arriving - time to dance...again...





With the red herrings gone, the real Dolphins surf the waves.

Water still 21c (warm) and Katie's surfing is improving very quickly


Katie gets up on the board yet again........shouldn't you on your Playstation thingy? 

A good sea breeze and time to get out the windsurfing gear


A slow start with very little wind next to the beach,
but kit breaking waves charging towards me.....finaly, the old timer, got out at the 3rd attempt

Feb - Apr – Nana & Grandad Dorsett Visit Aus

Dorsett Seniors arrive and it’s off to the coast for a short camping trip in one of the National Parks - lots of friendly wildlife.....and a few roos.


I show Immi what her future boyfriends should not look like..
..."and if he looks like this, I will poke him in the eye with a stick, like so" 

Not the brightest of animals, but entertaining.

The not so friendly wildlife - a red bellied black.......yep, it would kill you if you didn't get medical help, but its not a fast death so no need to panic!!!







Oh, and whilst you are here can you please renovate the house, just start with all of the white woodwork....

then sand the deck, hammer all of the thousand nails in and re-oil....
Then, just before you cook dinner, mow the lawns......Welcome to the new house!

Cooler nights and our maple trees are turning....anyone want a trip to Aus to help clear some leaves?  

Jazz - alert as ever

One of our own friendly outdoor pets - a Garden Orb - about 4 inches long - it won't hurt you, but the shock of it crawling on your leg/arm might finish you off.  

Immi tries another icecream


Dining on the deck (White rail and deck done by Grandad!)

Katie gets 2 awards at school - well done Kate.  

Katie's quilt makes it to the Canberra show.........the Davies talent lives on.

Sports day - Holly on her first lap, all smiles...

second and final lap, no smiles but ahead of the pack.
