Pool Party at Airbnb in Brisbane.
In spite of the rain the pool party was successful, the children enjoyed it and the birthday girl was so happy. Susan did a great job to set up the party, with fantastic decoration, and beautiful food.
It is always awesome to have a family holiday.
Fun in the Art Gallery in Ipswitch.
The grandchildren and the adults had a good time.
After a long walk in the rain, we were sitting waiting for the hot drink.
In the Botanical Garden in Toowong

Raining and raining for six days in Brisbane, but we managed to visit places, one of them was the Beautiful Botanical Garden in Toowong. Luckily the rain was easing.
Delicious Dinner, Ramen prepared by the Japanese, was an experienced introduced by Susan and Tris. Must learn how to use the chopsticks.
Lovely Luncheon
Together at Black Bird, Bar and Grill in Brisbane.
A delightful and delicious food We had before we left Brisbane.
Jacaranda is in full blooms everywhere, I would say it is the signature of Brisbane. Beautiful colour, perfect purple, so rich and yet so soft.

| The Purple Flowers of The Jacaranda Tree |
At Park Lane, we were greeted with all the beautiful flowers in our front and backyard. It's good to be home. Travelling from Tullamarine to Traralgon by shuttle bus took over three hours, it's at 8.16 to get to our house. I was grateful, though. Slept well and in the morning we went for our Thursday Fun. It was fun indeed to be meeting with good people playing our sports games.
Such sweet but short visited Brisbane it was. I am glad that we did it, we shall be back.
Love to see you, Melanie and family have settled beautifully and also looking forward to moving to the brand new home soon. Checking out the town while the kids at school and the lunch at the Cafe were enjoyable, Mel!

At Home Fun with Flowers and Food
Orchid flowers for this year are not the best but still beautiful
Saturday for Sourdough Bread
This time the inspiration from the recipe of Patric Ryan. Added sugar to the ingredients of the bread and baked on a hot stone (pizza stone could be used). Well, I have missed the brief, I did not read the recipe very well. |
| Sourdough starter created last week. Made it up, but it looks so good. |

| Sourdough Bread Dense and Puddingy Texture |
Beautiful flowers, a scene that I would miss is the purple flower Jacaranda, we don't have the trees alongside the road here in Victoria more so in Traralgon. You find these beauties everywhere, in a home garden, alongside the street or in the botanical garden.
This picture is in the suburb of Goodna, and often we passed by or went through that road, as we drove between Toowong to Ipswich.

Travelling with Susan and Tris was fun and easy, and spending time with the grandkids and their parents was lovely. We miss them already.
The Rewards
A short break was good for the body and the soul. Now we embrace the daily routine with joy.
See you all again, family!
Love the look of the potted lettuce and could not wait to harvest. An idea that planting vegetables could be done everywhere, in this case, easy to care, obviously keeping away from the slugs.
Until Next Post
