Nature Trail

Winter is well and truly here now, the days are shorter, it is a lot cooler and we have even had rain and biting winds. Some days we get cloudless skies, so off we go for a walk taking the camera and hoping for some good shots. Trying for the reflective mood.
Entertainment arrives with the local "kick boxing team".
Our very own Termite Hill.

I just love the gate, we have a few.
Trying out the old tractor.
John keeps the Home Fires Burning by keeping our log pile stacked.
John, out looking for his next tree felling exercise.
Visiting ducks one cold morning.

You know its cold when one of our neighbours has a coat on.
"John, check out the big budgie on the fence"
One of the bushes by the window.

Another bush.
Another cloudless day.

It is obviously "bitterly" cold there....I see you are both wearing long sleeves!
Do you need me to send you some snow suits, hats and gloves? Perhaps some handwarmers, or battery heated snowboots? How about a block heater so your car engine doesn't freeze...do you have emergency blankets, candles etc in the car?
Just let me know...I am worried you might not be prepared for "winter".
Love Jane xxxxx

Hi! Great pictures - looks like you are really loving it out there. Hope you remember me its Vickie - Paul's friend from UK. Have been trying to get hold of them but unable to. So I am trying the grandparents instead! Hope you don't mind. Please can you get them to contact me. They know my details. Sorry to use this route but didn't know what else to try. Hurray for internet! Thanks, Vickie.
