New Year 2010

Another New Year ushered in at home, with family and a modicum of alcohol! We went to Hunters Bar (as is usual on a Friday night) and had the very sobering and sad experience of driving home past a fatal road accident - which made me appreciate so much more that I had my family safely at home. We had a great night with Maurie and Thomas making huge inroads into a bottle of tequila, and the rest of us drinking good wine and champagne, dancing and enjoying each others company - long may it last!

Walking Opo-style

After reading Megan's blog (live-by-the-river.blogspot.com) about her awesome walk (of which I am really jealous) I thought it time to post some photos of the walk Shirley and I do from her place each week. Since we started we have managed to rope Catherine in as well as a few others. This is the one of last years mountain bike courses that the more able ( and dumber) bikers rode. It is hard to show just how steep some parts are - it is always a challenge!!

Photos show the climb, where we are headed and the view from the top.
