Happy Mothers' Day

A lot has happened since the last post - including the Last Post at the ANZAC Day ceremony :  Easter in Adelaide, weekends with Sarah, visit by George and Co, and Anzac Day.  Mostly I have photos of Anzac Day because I think to take photos at events but not when I'm in the middle of a social whirl.

 Vale House on the Torrens in Adelaide - our home among the gum trees for Easter.

 

 

The gracious entry

with the rather unfortunate sign for Easter.

The Inimitable Bunny found us anyway.

We walked to the Adelaide Central Market.

We walked to and on the new bridge over the Torrens between the Adelaide Oval and the Conference Centre (stopping to photograph a gang of German Shepherds who Lady Jayne addressed in near fluent German).

We Geo Cached with Heths

until we were shadows of our former selves.
After Easter with the Gang of Four - Corinne is still with us and we had a lovely lunch with her daughters on Easter Sunday - it was time for Easter at Klemzig Kitchens with Hildy May.

Mum, Pat and I went to the Flying Fish where a family entertained us with their seaweed antics, much like the daft games  uncles, aunts and cousins used to play at Caerfai in Wales.  I came to realise I have been spoilt with fresh fish in Tribes and even the Flying Fish did not seem quite up to scratch.

A shark followed us home and surfaced when Helly, Tamasin, Willowa and Rufus came for Easter frolics.

I returned to Tassie the day after Wilma and Roger had their big 50th Wedding Anniversary bash.

Sis was on the outside looking in

while Joe lorded it up inside.

Anzac Day came to The Bunna and all proceeded smoothly once the second vehicle had a push start.



Then there was a roar and a rumble

and the Rebels Motor Cycle gang left the pub.  By carumbas, I thought, this is going to be interesting.

However all stayed peaceful.  The bikies joined the crowd and were totally respectful.

Wilma left flowers at the cenotaph

and the bikies left quietly at the end of the service.

And some time in there, George, Matt, Kit and Ella came to Tassie for a week to buy a house and help us remove the Hills Hoist.
More news and bad photos soon.  Hopefully.
Have a lovely day all you mothers.

Full on

Another madly social weekend.  I've had more visits in nearly a year in Triabunna than in all my time in Wentworth.  Very hurried today to get everything organised for work this week and Easter and a bit longer in Adelaide.  It was the Sea Fest this weekend.  The photos will have to do most of the talking.

 Old news - the birdbath and rhubarb crop.

Up reasonably bright and early to catch the opening of the extended boat ramp and marina in Tribes.

Zaki the Shepherd and a few other locals were out and about to see our local member officiate

which included being rowed over to new boat ramp.  The ramp's popularity was proved by The Member's Longboat being crowded out by jetskis and a small motorcraft.

Those who attended A Wedding in Wentworth may recall a similar event.

There was all the fun of the fair and then some.

Liz and I felt like refreshment so took a cruise around Spring Bay.

We got very close to the contentious wharf at the Spring Bay Mill



Then home to Tribes with our taste for the sea sated.

We met up with Oki and Sarah and shot off to the exhibition at the Spring Bay Mill.

It was my third visit and I was welcomed like an old friend (I'm lying.  This photo is actually one of the volunteer ushers posing for Sarah.)

An arty photo by Sarah.



More gratuitous Spring Bay Mill shots.



Sunday it was back to the Sea Fest for the fishing competition weigh in.

Sarah took to rowing.

 

while I landlubbered.

Then Oki and Sarah took to rowing.

It was all very exhausting.  And the most amazing cheap fun.  Other excitement including a seal swimming around our cruise boat and the sighting of a seahorse on the chain anchoring the wooden boats.
