I am now Officer in Charge of Lawn Mowing, a position I swore I would never assume.
It does have its advantages. I have been able to amuse myself by mowing paths through the orchard.
I also ensure that there are mown paths all around the garden so I can access it pleasantly even after heavy dew or torrential rain. Above, you can see the native plant part of the garden slowly taking shape.

Both Georgia's lawn mowers have broken down. We have had a lot of rain recently and I noticed the interesting track she was leaving in the long grass as she tested her new rural property owner boots.
Jill PD, of course, loves Georgia's paddock. It is a glorious piece of land.
Yesterday was Her Majesty's birthday so we went on a road trip to the Margate Train. It is a row of carriages with a specialty shop in each carriage, some of dubious taste.
And I mention all this tracky stuff because tomorrow I am off to Adelaide, just for a week, to visit Mum. This may come as a surprise to certain residents of Fleurieu Peninsular. I will be staying at West Beach and I think it will be too complicated to make plans. Hopefully next year I'll be able to ferry and drive over, and perhaps take in some coastal walks...
