When my son was about 5 his grandfather in Melbourne helped him make a chinese chequer board game using quandongs as the balls. We still have the game and occasionally play it so it brought back lovely memories of James working on the board with his Pop. Might have to do a post on that one come to think of it.

Tony's been glad to see the back of it -- chemicals, looking after it, evaporation etc. Of course we live ten minutes walk from the beach so our circumstances are different. Good luck with your decision.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751315680374413649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-88041343788508116272013-08-04T05:00:52.660+09:302013-08-04T05:00:52.660+09:30Tania, it's nice to catch up, it's been to...Tania, it's nice to catch up, it's been too long!<br />This post definitively showcases you have a little corner of Paradise!<br />The Pacific NW coast had its first rain in over two months but the cooler temperatures keeps our veggie garden from producing anything close to your yields! <br />All the best,Noelle the dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07805639450753772211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-33405184009014230682013-08-04T00:49:08.195+09:302013-08-04T00:49:08.195+09:30Gosh I can only dream about a garden like yours.

Next year I will plant them in pots to see if that works. We also had three months of rain with maybe two days of sun. The Title of "Sunny Alberta" is just not true.

They do "trim work" on the ships rails on the signal bridge to spruce it up.<br /><br />It's great you have a pool. I hope you can keep it to swim in. Everything I see about your place looks like it is a really nice home. The sunsets and sunrises remind me of when I lived in New Mexico. I think you need that kind of terrain to get those views.<br /><br />I hope there are no salt water crocodiles in your lake? Ever so often I see on the news that they have gobbled someone up there in Australia.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-72026575687981710752013-08-03T18:35:48.504+09:302013-08-03T18:35:48.504+09:30Tania, you live in a beautiful part of the world. ...Tania, you live in a beautiful part of the world. <br />Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07574341709111330156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-743532158600929042.post-91526644345708274542013-08-03T15:01:44.307+09:302013-08-03T15:01:44.307+09:30It's 23 deg here today, so very spring like.

LOL! Not really. I do have some broccoli growing and needing to be picked because of the warm weather, the mandarin tree is laden with too much fruit for us, hubby's bromeliads are producing beautiful flowers and I have small kale plants growing which I have no idea what to do with when they are ready to be harvested. Another question for the DTE forum coming up I guess. We do miss you there so call in now and again and say hello won't you!Nanna Chelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500527266771727074noreply@blogger.com
