A Quick Trip Down

On Friday we took a quick drive down to Kilkivan to take some stuff (for want of a better description) and to collect our trailer and some cardboard cartons for packing.

 

Our move is getting closer and with a bit of luck we will be moving out of the managers unit in just over a weeks time.

We took Enzo with us for a drive. 2 reasons. Firstly he loves to be with us and loves coming in the car.  Secondly he is going a bit stir crazy not being able to get outside and stretch his legs with a good run. If we left him here at the motel he would torment Elmo and try to climb over the gate to get out. Which he can do being such a clever cat.

Relaxing in his favourite spot.

After checking out the garden with us and generally running around letting off steam he settled into his favourite spot where he can watch all the little honeyeater birds getting the nectar from the grevilleas.

 

 

 

Very pretty little birds and singing away happily. It is so relaxing just sitting, watching and listening.

 

In the distance I could hear a tractor busily working away and he was making hay. Those big round bales.  After a while there were quite a few of them dotted around his paddock. The weather forecast was for rain so I am pleased he got it done before the rain came.

 

 

It is a bit hard to pick out the tractor, but he is right there in the middle. Yes, he is!

 

Back to Gayndah we came. The Fire and Rescue training which was booked in for this weekend has been cancelled, so we might be able to get onto some packing instead.

 

Bye for now. Will be back soon.

Back to the country

Kilkivan here we come.

Hi there.

I am back after nearly 3 years.
We have been running a motel and it left me no time to think let alone have a decent sleep and I am so very very tired all the time.

Back in January we purchased a house on 1 acre of land in Kilkivan, which is out in the country about half an hours drive from Gympie.  It is a beautiful peaceful spot and we are both really looking forward to moving here permanently.

And of course I hope to be able to keep you more up to date on my activities, be it gardening, craft, visitors or outings.

Here is one of my favourite photos of the view from our spacious deck taken very early one morning when the mist was still hanging about.

At the moment it is still so very dry here as we had almost no rain this summer.  The summer before we had the terrible floods and the creek in the middle of the picture overflowed its banks and ran right through the showgrounds.

That is all I have time for right now, but I will be back as things progress.
Bye for now
