Launching Grandma

It was a very sunny and hot day today so we all, except Suzanne who was working, went down on the beach with the kayaks. Jean decided she wanted to have a go, and she got on very well which pleased her.

We have spent the last week visiting other people as Josh and Lois have had exams at school and needed some space to revise. We have been to the Serpentine - no not in Hyde Park London but a reservoir dam south and east of Perth which at the moment is very low on water as is all of Western Australia. We have also been back to Kings Park to have a look at Perth again by daylight.

Preparations for Christmas are progressing well but it is very strange being here in the middle of summer and hearing Christmas music being played everywhere.

Suzanne is now actively looking for somewhere to rent and we have been spending some time helping her look at properties - as you do when you are on holiday!!

Now that the children have broken up from school we will be planning a few outings and doing the Grandparent bit of entertaing them and providing them with lots of ice creams etc - maybe.
