Visit to the Zoo

Today we went to Melbourne Zoo. It's one of the best zoos I've been to but also one with the least animals. I'm all for giving them room to roam but if all you can see is the end of the Lion's tail you kind of feel a little cheated (did I mention the smell!). Now, lets talk baby elephants - We went along only to find out the whole of Melbourne also want to see a baby elephant so we waited and waited while the boys ran riot. After 45mins we finally saw the little fella, took a picture and left (ba humbug).
No Sheri, that's not my tummy - It's just the way I'm standing :).

Summer - Part 1

Just a quick post..... Today was a fine Summer's day - just over 30 without a cloud in the sky. We decided to head off to the Caribbean Market to take the train. The kids were/are knackered with all the walking and playing in the various playgrounds dotted around the site. Dad got to look at some classic cars that congregate there most weekends and enjoyed a meat pie. (Australian national dish)

Lord of the Flies

While Ralph is still advised by Piggy on this ole Isle..... summer has started in earnest. While not as warm as last year (due to global cooling and the coming ice age) it's still a welcome change from the rain and mild weather of spring.
(one week of flies..... picture attached)

We got some fishing rods and headed off to Mornington Peninsula (we fished off the pier and then ate in the restaurant) and all we caught was a stomach bug which brought us all to our knees (literally).

February is about to start and nobody and everybody is totally confused as to what we are going to do. I must say I don't miss the winter they had in England this year but I do miss all the activities available to all in old Blighty.

2010 is going to be the year of decision making and adventure....



Some family fun

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!
