Well, Mum and Dad are now winging their way back to England :( The house seems quite empty without them, especially at the dinner table. We had a lovely day on Friday though, going to Phillip Island to see the penguins. Got down there for lunch and then went to the Koala Conservation Sanctuary, where we saw 9 koalas including a nine month old infant. It was so cute and woke up to feed off it's Mum. She then spent ages grooming it and giving it cuddles. The three of us stood there for half an hour just watching him (there was no one else around!) Then we went off to see the penguins. While we were sitting waiting for dusk to fall, we watched a seal playing in the sea. The penguins came up off the beach at 7.30 p.m so not so long to wait this time, but they were equally as entertaining. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to take photos of them so we can't put any on the blog.
It was lovely having Mum and Dad here and for them to see everything and meet everyone, so they know who and what we are talking about. Hopefully, it won't be too long before they can come out again. Our next visitors (Jane, Olly and Alice ) are arriving next Monday (11th) - VERY early in the morning (5a.m!!!!) so just gives me time to do all the washing!
By the way, our clocks went back at the weekend so we are now 9 hours ahead of the UK. This means no chance for early morning phone calls from this end since by the time we wake up, you Guys will (most probably) be in bed :( So we can only call at the weekends from now on.
Hi Guys, hope your next set of visitors arrived safely and are enjoying the sunshine of Australia :-) Loved the photos of the koalas - looked like your M&D had a great visit. Was that a photo of Jack with your parents and he was wearing a suit!!! Nice to see he dressed up for visitors :-)
ReplyDeleteAre the boys on school holidays at the moment - girls are at home (meant to be revising) but dont think much going on.
Weather has been wonderful in Romsey since last week - 22 degrees at weekend and gorgeous sunshine. Smelt so many bbqs when I was out in Romsey.
I finish work next week (Tuesday) and with Easter, bank holidays and Royal Wedding I wont be back at work until start of May - yipppeeee!
Are you able to get Cadburys chocolate in Australia - sorry just thinking about Easter eggs and obviously Cadburys are the best!!
Hope you are all ok and doing lots of tourist things with your visitors. Do you have a break when they return before your next set? Love to all, Lisa xxxx
