A joyous carnival of colour
Spring in Toowoomba is always a bit of a magical time, our parks simply glow with colour and the green haven that is Toowoomba is alive with outdoor activity.

Augathella = meat ants and Smiley
Slowly catching up on posts. After Charleville we started the trek north, stopping briefly in Augathella. The two things Augathella is famous for are meat ants and the Smiley stories.

I have managed to rediscover the joy of swimming … Continue reading Back in the swim

Some weeks you are just glad when it is over.
Medieval tapestry Ok I think that look sums up the past week. I have been a bit snowed under of late trying to get things done and work has been a bit on the hectic side but thankfully the new Autumn book box is all ready to go.

Two dogs in the water
S and I have made a break for our favourite beach. Our daughter has brought her dog along and have introduced Cassandra to the surf and salt water. She loves it! She has also worked out that she is a better swimmer than Ada so while Ada beats her up on dry land, Cassie can … Continue reading Two dogs in the water
