Harrod's in Retirement

Here we are just past the nine year mark living here in South East Queensland where every winter is just perfect, can't say the same about summers, they don't get as hot as they can in Victoria and the weather is much less changeable than down there, but they do get very steamy. We have only had one summer when it wasn't humid and that was because we were in the grip of a drought. I am very often homesick for Victoria and in particular Pheasant Creek where we lived before we moved up here, but at the same time am now sitting with mixed feelings on that. I think that area for now is perhaps best described as paradise lost. I hope nature is good to them there and things are starting to regenerate again. I am sure they will, I remember Ash Wednesday back in the 1980's and it wasn't too long after all of that when those areas were all back to life again.
I must take a more up to date picture of our house, this was taken as we moved in back in July 2007 and those tiny plants are now all taller than four feet.


This was the two of us taken in Townsville in 2002, not too keen on taking a more up to date one, it would look too wrinkly!!!  Funny that how a photo that we once did not like much becomes more appealing more than ten years later. Perhaps I will put a 2013 photo on in another ten years.
