Golf With Will!!

Andy and Will went for a bonding time at the golf course on Saturday morning with our neighbours from across the road Gary and Adam. They had a great day out apart from William talking when the other guys were taking their shots!!! William was in charge of the camcorder and he took some great shots of the ducks swimming in the lake and the guys legs...but not a lot of the golf.... Apart from a great shot of Andy and a tree......

Sunday we went to Petrie Old Town for a walk around the markets, it was a lovely Sunday morning and we had a lovely coffee and a slice of cake before we headed home, for some of Andys homemade French Onion Soup.

Dayboro and Mt. Cootha

Sunday arvo we took a short ride to Dayboro and a ride up Mt. Cootha. Once again it's another beautiful village that time seems to have forgot. We are so lucky to be central to so many coast and country beauty spots. The day was completed with traditional Aussie pies for dinner. Oh yes, and guess what? It was nice and sunny again ; )

Samford Valley

This weekend we took a trip to see Ian and Beckys Auntie Pat down in Samford. It is a beautiful village with all the property's on acerage. Luckily for us it just happened to be the local winter fair with a full size fair ground, helicopter rides, plus all the usual arts and crafts, exhibitions and even pig racing. As usual the sun made a guest appearance for us which made for a lovely day.

Welcome to Oz, Shaz and Phil.

Hi all, well this weekend saw the arrival of Shaz(pinkcat) and Phil(pinkcat) and their children Jack and Lewis to Ozzy. They are friends of ours from Bradford, England. Consequently we spent Sunday getting rid of a pretty good hang over!!
Once again the weekend has just flown by. We decided at 4.00p.m. to go down to Suttons beach for a fish and chip supper. Cassie, Laurens friend from over the road came along with us.

The deep of winter.

We have now been here for ten months and find our selves back in the same season that we arrived in, Winter! The days are shorter with sun rise about 7.45 and sun set around 5.15. The mornings are noticeably chillier and can get down to around 9 degs. , the same applies to the evenings. The afternoons are beautiful though sitting around an average of 23 to 24 degs. The kids have settled well now and have made heaps of friends. Adrienne has been adding the girlie touches to the patio area with pots and plants.
Its the State of Origin deciding game tonight, its one of the biggest sporting events on the Australian sporting calender. The two states of of Queensland and New South Wales battle it out rugby league style for bragging rights for the next twelve months. We are planning to celebrate it with our neighbours from across the street.
