Revolving Doors

July seems to be the month that everyone wants to head north to visit us, and why wouldn't they.  It is such a lovely time of the year.  With winter temperatures ranging between 25 - 13 degrees celsius it is indeed a perfect climate. So it really has been revolving doors at our place.  No sooner one lot of visitors leave and we have another lot arrive.  However, we love it and wouldn't want it any other way. In between visitors we have managed to fit in a few social events, the latest being our little Mossman Show.  We try to go along each year because if we don't support the local shows they will certainly be a thing of the past and none of us want to see them disappear.

That's how long it's been since my last post.  As I looked back through my photos I commented to my husband that I'm flabbergasted that we could fit so much into six weeks.  We, of course, make our own busy.  No doubt about that.

Painting And more painting.... A new backyard fence The finished product Loving this sick! Sandblasting the slippery old verandah meant repainting! In between all of that we have had back to back visitors.  I always enjoy having friends and family come to visit.  My mum came for two weeks that passed in the blink of an eye.  While she was here we ate at a couple of lovely restaurants.......Arabellas in Port, Blue Water Bar and Grill
