BusTed in Bonnie Wingham


Hi Everyone,
What a fantastic weekend this was at the 
Bonnie Wingham Scottish Festival.
We camped at Wingham Brush amongst gigantic fig trees
and ..


wow



hundreds and thousands of flying foxes.


There were pipe bands from all over the district.


.....and there was the caber toss.
I had always wanted to do this so Woohoo. 
I came equal first...then we had a TOSS OFF....
I unfortunately lost by one minute...bugger. 


Then it was the Lassies Tug-O-War..


Oh yeah.....nailed it..must have been that bloody big anchor.



So, you may think, where's Ellen ??? oh she was there all right, getting all these fantastic shots of me...
Till next time
xxxxx

BusTed in Sydney

Hi again,
How nice it was to catch up with Ellen's family, a huge gathering as always, this time at Terry and Sharon's place in Penrith for mothers day.

Paul, Ellen's son, is growing himself a lovely beard,this is the most beautiful picture of them both.




Even more good looking characters, in her dad and sisters.


'Hakuna Matata,'
What a spectacular show...we went and saw the Lion King with my sisters family also in Sydney
.......AMAZING......


Then its a fantastic stop at Yvette and Als' in Balmain...spectacular views from their balcony.



We caught the ferry over to Cockatoo Island on Sydney Harbour to check out the Biennale...
its was so cool.



Then, a magnificent mothers day lunch compliments from Yvette and Al at Circular Quay...Yummo... however that bottle of wine that came with it certainly got us well and truly smashed.(how delightful)


The next day it was off to Maroubra beach for some fun in the sun.
Before heading up the coast and home.



Talk about fun in the sun...these two lovelies spent most of Trisha's birthday floating in the current in the crystal clear water at Seal Rocks, what a delightful day that was.


Then we were blessed to stay at Dales farm at Nabiac, where this inquisitive little donkey would visit us regularly....and it's wasn't even Christmas.(how cute)



How cool is that....our own little parking spot in the wilderness of Dales....nice..


Till next we meet
xxxx
