 Sue turned 60 in March, but couldn't get the venue she wanted for her birthday until the end of April.

Mum's Funeral

Doreen Gladys Strutt 4th August 1935 - 19 April 2022.

Mum's funeral service was on the 27th April 2022.  It was a lovely service as funeral's go.  Below are just a few photos from the day.



Mum adored her teddy bears, so it was only fitting that they were there to say goodbye.


The beautiful flowers on her casket.


Flowers from Sue and Andrew.


Flowers from Adrian, Michelle, Caleigh & Evie.


RIP Mum.

Easter 2022

Easter 2022 was a bitter-sweet time with Heather and John coming over from Sydney to catch up with us and to visit Mum at The Manor.  Mum wasn't well enough to come out to join in for Easter this year.  We had a lovely time catching up with a Sunday lunch BBQ.  Then on Monday after visiting Mum we went to Ashgrove Cheese and Elizabeth Town Cafe for lunch, and on Tuesday Mum passed away, so Heather, John and ourselves picked ourselves up and went to The Gorge and The Seaport, and then just around from home to Gravelly Beach/Blackwall on Wednesday afternoon.

Campbell Town

We have just spent two weeks working in Campbell Town.  We were lucky with the weather, but hoping it rains soon for the farmers that are struggling with the dry spell.


Beautiful sunrise on the way to Campbell Town.

We saw a Wedgetail Eagle along Valleyfield Road.


He flew off as it was taking the photo.


Magnificent birds to watch them soaring and gliding on the thermals.









Rainy Tuesday

We are hoping that all the rainy weather is done and gone before we head off on holidays next week.  It's a very wintery spring day toda...
