Spring

I love South Australia in the Spring - the grass is still lush and green, the wattles and bottlebrushes are in full flower and the gardens are looking so colourful with osteospernums, gazanias. pigface, lavender, bulbs, geraniums and the first roses.

Tall Ships

Had an exciting morning at the Port viewing the tall ships - three from Holland, 2 from SA and The Lord Nelson Jubilee Trust ship from Southampton.  Had an interesting guided tour around thanks to the Chief Engineer who knows 2 of our friends from BERIA.  Temperatures were in the mid 20s with lots of warm sunshine so a cold ginger beer at the Brewery went down well.

Plenty of boats, dolphins and dragon boats with didgeridoo music, morris dancing and lots of fun activities for all the family.

Nearly Spring

After weeks of rain, cold nights and grey skies (very unusual here) the wettest winter since 1930 is nearly over.  Today we had a taste of Spring and had a walk on the beach

A trip to the Art Gallery

Had a great day out last week at the art gallery in North Terrace.  A guide showed us round and made the three hours pass very quickly.

Quilt of the Month

I love Rachelle's quilt of the month patterns.

Mine looks so different as I used Vin de Jour instead of the Layer Cake by French General

I also put my diamonds in a different order so the small ones were in the middle section and the large ones forming the border.  Will have to wait for the fabric to go on sale in about 6 weeks before I can finish the border.
