This is just a quick post to touch base and let you know I'm back from my "R&R" break. I trust your Christmas period was as wonderful as ours - minus the 'heated discussions' that sometimes take place when families get together! Aaargh!

We spent 5 days lolling around Mandurah; crabbing, eating (bordering on 'over-consuming'), playing with the kids, water skiing and trying to do as little as possible. It is always a precious time when you get away with the loves of your life and take respite from our very busy schedule.

The photo above is of a Rose-breasted Cockatoo (we call them Pink & Grey Galahs). They are foragers and are happy to strut around on the ground looking for a free feed. We obliged by giving him, and his mates, some bird seed and enjoyed watching the spectacle with our fascinated children.

I'm looking forward to getting into the garden again, now we're home, and shall post more soon.
