Happenings

G’day folks 

My name is Kate, and very occasionally I post blogs of my adventures in Oz.  However, I am a terrible blogger and so these blogs are infrequent and usually rushed.

This month has included flying, hiking, flying, hiking, oh yes, and a new boyfriend.  Let’s not forget that!  So, I should probably add in getting fish and chips with him, wandering around the city, visiting Southbank, introducing him to my mountains, and much much more.

We went on an amazingly beautiful hike to Flinders Peak, which is near Ipswich, and because he is also an amazing photographer, got some rather more spectacular photographs than normal. 



The mountainside was covered with cacti, with their flame red flowers.



Credit must of course go to D for this photographs!

Even Lily got to come on this hike, and she enjoyed bounding up the rocks and only needed help a couple of times.


(I took this one...)





(And I took this one because D hasn’t yet worked out how to take a photograph without it looking like he took it... ha) 

D is a quick learner though. and worked out fast that the way to a girl’s heart is through her dog... and climbing... and flying aeroplanes (hence the Harvard...) and indeed tomorrow we are renting a Cessna to go for a spin.  (My request is to fly around the Glasshouses!)


Lil had to be carried back down the mountain as she was pretty exhausted after such a big hike.  She then slept the two hours home and the rest of the day at home!

Did I mention I have a new boyfriend?  He is lovely, and gentle, and kind, and the nicest person ever, and I do think I rather like him.  

Tomorrow, firstly we are going flying, secondly we are going climbing, thirdly, I am then going to abandon D to go Christmas shopping with Amanda, and fourthly we are doing a household raclette evening (plus D of course). 

Such fun 😍

PS: I have a boyfriend, and he is rather lovely.
