...... A new journey is about to begin

I'm just testing my blog from my new  tablet to see if it is easy to keep a diary of our up and coming trip. My other tablet was not user friendly with blogger.

So this is what I'm packing to keep me busy at all the airports and on the planes.
So on this Note 19 days to go we shall see how we go😊

Good Fences #89

Firstly I would like to Thank Theresa, aka TexWiseGirl over at The Run*A*Round Ranch, for hosting "Good Fences" for the past 2 1/2 years. It's a meme I have loved doing and I will really miss.

I will still wander around everyone's blogs and see what everyone is up to. I myself will be having an extremely busy and fun year next year, we are travelling to Europe, USA and Canada in march for about 4 months, so I hope to do a bit of travel blogging while I'm away!!

This one looks nice and strong!!

Hubby and I took ourselves for a little drive just 15mins from home to Cardinia Reservoir, for those of you not local, it's one of Melbourne's drinking water reservoirs. We haven't been here for ages. It's a lovely spot, for walks along the dam wall, and picnics at Crystal Brook Park. Even the "locals" were out having dinner!!

Have a beautiful weekend

Good Fences #86

This place caught my eye when out on a walk when we were in Adelaide back in August.

No idea why the masks are there, it's just a residential area, but good for me, as I'm always on the look out for interesting finds with fences

One of the neighbours has had a go at growing some Tulips. They just appeared one day in front of this cute fence.
It's a sure sign that spring is here, but with the terrible weather we have had, it's just as well they grew them in pots. Yesterday we had all of about 12 degrees, freezing winds and rain, today was a stunner, at about 24 degrees and beautiful sunshine. Gotta love Melbourne weather!!

It's the unofficial first day of spring, Wild Jonquils that have been flowering just up the road for the last month or so.

And this stunning place, another beauty from our trip to Adelaide a few weeks back.

I just love freezing cold early morning walks (don't like getting out of bed, but when I'm up, I'm ready to go). And last Saturday was no exception.

Hubby and I had a beautiful day out last week. We went and had a nice drive out to Noojee, about 90mins from here, where this stunning Trestle bridge is. We walked along the old rail trail for a a few kilometers, it was nice to just have a wandering relaxing day.

And we finished the day with lunch at the local pub!!

 The last days of autumn are here. Next week winter will settle in, though not as cold as in some parts of the world, but still cold. 

And, I found this fellow out on my walk down at the lake the other day.

I think it's a White Faced Heron
