Easter Monday.

Easter Monday or Good Monday (as Sharni referred to it the other day)  We took a trip to Devonport to have breakfast at the Harbour Master Cafe.  As it had rained most of the weekend, it was nice to see the sun shining so we took a little trip to get some breakfast.


The sun was shining and the river was all sparkling as we left home at 7.45am.


Looks like fog in the distance.


There was heavy fog for a short distance.


Then the sun came out again.


It was cool in the shady sections of road.


And a bit breezy on the open sections of countryside.

Good Friday BBQ

We usually have a BBQ on Good Friday, we have fish and chicken, plus salads and plenty of  Hot X Buns and Easter eggs.  We always have a lovely time catching up, lots of laughs and too much chocolate of course.
