G'Day Mary

We have just enjoyed a colourful weekend at the China Festival of Lights. No flight required since it was held in the north of the Netherlands. Very creative and a delight for the senses!

Lots of dragons! So was wondering how you are coping with the Tasmanian devils down south?

Have a wonderful time and looking forward to hearing and seeing more of your tour!

It sure sound as if you had an interesting Halloween! Hope you had your camera with you to capture those kangaroo sausages? Australian halloween decorations made of wool? Now that sounds scarry too! :-)

So you are taking on the Tasmanian roads tomorrow! Should be another great experience.

Wonder whether you would see a real Tasmanian devil somewhere? Probably just in a zoo nowadays. If you do see one take a photo for Snappie! Snappie is green with envy! ;-)

Have fun exploring!

Advice for a safe Halloween ...

Stock up on chocolates, lock all the doors, light some extra candles and stay indoors tonight!

Happy Halloween!

G'Day Mate!

The loyalty of a dog is admirable.

Another week has gone. I am sure you have seen some great places by now. Have you been to Melbourne yet?

Have a great weekend wherever you are and watch out for the ghosts on Halloween! Trick or Treat!

Just dropping in to hear how the tour is going? Did you have clear skies when visiting the Blue Mountains? Did you have time to go on the cable car?

Have you seen the white parrots with the pink feathers on their heads?

Going to watch the movie "Australia" with Nicole Kidman now.

Enjoy the colourful birds and the wide open spaces of Australia!

Hi Mary

It sure sounds as if you are enjoying your tour. I missed the Botanical Gardens in Sydney, so am looking forward to seeing your photos.

The Botanical gardens in Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane were beautiful and filled with exotic plants.

Have you seen any kangaroos yet?

Enjoy the Blue Mountains!

Hi Mary,

Very surprising your visit and comments, and thank you !
It is very beautiful in Spain, except the weather, it is to hot for me;-))))
38 or 43 C in the cities is really to hot, but the sea was nearby.
This week we had again a short holiday, and came home today.
That `s why a late reaction from me.

Greetings Hélène

Hi Mary

Just saying hi after my regular little visit. My garden is a lot different & I certainly do have a green thumb more like a brown thumb.

Cheers

Hi Mary
Have just had a wander around your garden, you are like my Bob, with green fingers. Your design is excellent, which is always so important, and you have a great variety. Obviously a great love of plants here. Thanks for visiting Bob's garden, and leaving such nice comments, I take the photographs but don't know the names of the plants like you do, so it was nice to have some named for me.

We have had a fairly good summer, although we had a lot of rain in August. However, it did not curtail our walking, and we seemed to always be lucky and miss the really wet days.

We are well into autumn now and it is getting quite chilly at night. I saw on TV that some areas of Colorada had had some snow...... sign of things to come, I guess.

Stay happy, Mary.

Hi Mary

Back from a quick visit to the south of Sweden. Didnt think I would make it to Sweden again this year. Just go to show, where there is a will, there is a way!

Not much autumn colour, but had a few lovely sunshine days, wearing short sleaves during the day.

Even had a day out kayaking. All went well. Was a bit nervous when the wind picked up speed in the afternoon and the waves got higher than the kayak. But with some serious paddling I reached land again. Could hardly move my arms for two days after that. Even holding the steering wheel hurt! Wouldnt have missed it!

Judging from your photos you are still enjoying summer. The gardens you are visiting are beautiful!

Have a great week!

Hi Mary.

You have a very lovely garden to show and share with us Mary.

You sure have green fingers.

According to one of your comments; yes it was a huge lake we walked around.

Sorry about that Mary; I just found some more photos pertaining to the Lairig Ghru Pass and wanted to add them....... it is all memories.......and of course it brings the album to the fore......glad you enjoyed them anyhow.......even if it was hard to even recognise us -) This was a twenty mile trek, and over the next few years we did 10 treks of this nature. (There are other climbs in my 'AND BEFORE THAT' section).

Hi Mary
Have just been having a wander in your garden, most impressive. I am not sure if your greatest talent is for gardening or for photography....... you seem to have such talent in both subjects.......
Hope all is well with you, and that you have had a lovely summer. Our's was really good, sunny and warm in the early months of summer, but in August it has been changeable and more like normal. If the weather stopped us doing things in Scotland we would stay indoors all the time, so we just get on with it.
Happy Days, Mary.

Ola Mary

Greetings from Costa del Sol. Having a great time with lots of sunshine!

Just enjoyed a short stroll through your Lily Lady's garden. Colourful garden decorations!

Are your plans still on for your trip Down Under?

Enjoy your summer days!

Hi Mary!
We are having a very hot summer too...only the last few days it colled down and started to rain....that is a good thing.
Our newly planted garden suffered from the dry weather...although we tried and watered it constantly. It is not the same as rain though.
Still suffering from my hands so I did not take many pictures, mostly used tripod but even then it is hard to handle the small buttons. But I am getting there...eventually.
Did not visit a lot either, I only replied most of the comments and that's it...in the critis forum I tried and stay in touch but then time was up already.
I try and pick up where I left things but the house needs a good clean too now (when your hands do not work it is troubles everywhere!) and that has my priority...I am a rather organised and tidy person, hate it when it is a mess! :)
OK, I am off, will have a look at your garden...always great to see the changes!
PS....wow, I am so impressed...that is not a garden...that is heaven!
