Decided to take a walk along the beach this morning, which although cold was lovely. We had a cup of coffee at the small cafe near the footbridge and noticed a small market being held along the foreshore park.
Had a look before heading back to the caravan park.
The following photos are just snaps I took around Lakes Entrance.

 |
| Pelicans and seagulls looking for a feed. |
 |
| Just one of the many chainsaw carvings from trees that needed to be felled. If you click on it, you should be able to see the plaque that tells some of the story about them. They are lovely. |

Monday.
Today we headed for home. On the way I just had to make a stop at Lily Lane in Rosedale. Oh, and that is a Patchwork Shop. The owner Jenny and I did a long-arm quilting workshop together many years ago, so it is nice to catch up occasionally. We also popped into 2 antique shops before we had some lunch.

| This little tractor is actually made from an old sewing machine. This was in the antique shop and there was two of them. |

| Our car and caravan. I was supposed to take a photo while at the caravan park, but forgot, so here it is now. |
 |
| This is the most amazing gum tree. We've stopped in this picnic area several times and I've never had my camera on me. Now I take my camera everywhere, so I finally took the picture of it. OK, that was the long weekend and some of our photos, hope you enjoy.Thanks for the lovely comments. This weekend we are off to our daughter's place as it is Mother's Day here in Australia. It is lovely to spend time with at least two of our grandchildren , as the others live in Canberra, NSW and UK. Susan. |
The beach pictures look wonderful, and I love the tractor - that was so clever of someone.
ReplyDeleteYes, the tractor is clever and I must put a photo of my dog, a "springer spaniel" on my next post.
DeleteThose chainsaw carvings are so clever, I'm amazed whenever I see them. The lakes look beautiful. It certainly looks like you made the most of your weekend together. Hope you have a lovely time this weekend, and Happy Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, especially that amazing gum tree. I'm glad you enjoyed your break. Happy mothers day! x
ReplyDeleteThanks girls for the mother's day wishes and yes it was a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe sewing machine tractor is brilliant! Great photos, Susan. Thanks for sharing them with us. :o)
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting on my SewnWildOaks blog. I can't respond directly to you since I don't have your email. You asked about using the word Autumn instead of Fall. Here in the states, the two words are interchangeable. I like saying Autumn.....I don't know why.
Take care,
Lynn
