QUIET CHRISTMAS

Hubby and I spent a very quiet Xmas day, as our children live far and wide (except 1 daughter who had to go to Sydney), and all were tied up this year with in-laws.  Travelling in the heat is not what we like anymore so we stayed put.

We made a picnic lunch and traveled up into the hills just behind Warragul and had our lunch at the Jindivik Cricket ground looking out over the wonderful view.  We had plenty of company -  "FLIES".  We walked over into the Community Garden, then came home via a friend's who had asked if we would like to stop in for afternoon tea.  Very, very quiet, which I'm not sure whether we've ever experienced before, but I suppose it happens at some stage in most people's lives.

Some photos below of our outing.

The outdoor gym (not a good photo) where we had a workout on  a couple of things.
I think I pulled a little tummy muscle as I've not been to the gym for about 18 months because of my back problems and hubby's legs were sore. (giggle).  How unfit are we. 

 When we move to Ballarat, I'm thinking of taking up archery, which I tried once and thoroughly enjoyed and it is supposed to be good for your posture, so helps strengthen your back muscles.  We also hope to do a lot more walking amongst other things.

The garden also had plenty of colour.

We stopped at Tarago Reservoir and had a wander, then took a scenic route to my friend J's so I could take a photo of these two beauties (below 2nd photo).

I'll leave it there for today and will be back tomorrow with a very different post.  I am going to try and show something I've not tried to do on my blog before, so hopefully you'll not think I've gone mad.
Hope everyone has a good Boxing Day.
Take care.
Susan.
