Christmas 2019

Huge bushfires this year. Started early and consuming huge tracts of SE Australia.
Smoke haze has only affected us for 2 days, unlike most of the rest of the Eastern seaboard.
Anyway, lovely visit from all, and we managed to get pictures of all the GC’s in one place.

Sue came down with Luca and Mikaela by Jetstar, arriving at Avalon Airport a couple  of days before Dim who drove.
They returned with Luca only by car providing Nic and Vas a great opportunity to spend some time with Mike.

Vic, John, Maddie and Amelia and Rolo and Amelia’s plants drove down, but not without a stopover in Jindabyne and Kosciusko for a couple of days on the way.

All stayed with us and we enjoyed Christmas morning together. Reindeer poo proved Santa had visited. Then everyone was off to other commitments.

Sue, Dim and Luca caught up with John and Vic in Gundagai and slipped thru road closures due to bushfires.

Jeff and Jill dropped Madds and Amelia off today so we could get them up to Bacchus Marsh for a sleepover with cousins Owen, Alannah and Zoe.
We couldn’t leave without mowing the lawns to reduce the risk of snake hiding in the grass.

So here are the photos.

A Gardner’s Attention


You can never give your plants too much love.
Amelia grew these guys from seeds. Couldn’t leave them alone to fend for themselves overs the holidays, so they came on holidays with her. All the way from Sydney to Geelong and return.
