Sunny afternoon in City Park

We had a lovely little walk around City Park to see the monkeys and gardens.

We were staying at Windarra on High in Launceston.  A lovely little BNB.


This was our room.


A cute little birds nest on the mantelpiece.

Lots of colourful flowes.


The Children's Jubilee Fountain was for Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887.


We stopped to watch the macaque monkeys.

Olivia and Gerrard's birthday party.

We spent a lovely evening with Olivia (21) and Gerrard (50) at the Gunner's Arms for their birthdays.  I didn't use a flash when taking the photos, so some are a little blurry, or it could be I had a couple of drinks.  LOL.

My Birthday Champagne and Cake Afternoon Tea

I spent a lovely afternoon with my family for my birthday.  We had a nice Champagne and Cake Afternoon Tea on Sunday afternoon.  Then that evening Adrian phoned from the UK to wish me a Happy Birthday.  I felt very spoilt by all the attention.

I never get tired of this view.

We moved to Blackwall 16 years ago.  And I never get tired of the ever changing views from our front window. Beautiful afternoon sunset glow...
