Graffiti!

Hi I'm back with another layout for you.It's a good job I hadn't blogged any of these as I wouldn't have anything to post! I've had little time to get in the craft room and when I did have some it was like a sauna, so there was no way I could sit in there!

these photos were taken in Melbourne where they have specially designated lanes and alleys for graffiti artists to display their talents. SU's Grunge stamps came in very useful for this!

I'm pleased to say that Roy has now been transferred back to the neuro rehab unit in Woking and is making good progress. When he left Frimley Park he was unable to even stand unaided and certainly couldn't get himself off the bed. Yesterday he walked with a frame and a little help from the phsyio from the ward to the gym for his therapy session. He can get himself off the bed and into a wheelchair with a little support so when the weather is good I can wheel him out into the garden there, so he has had his first taste of fresh air this last two weeks since April! I'm hoping I can get into some sort of routine now with the visiting so I can find a bit more "me" time!


 

I'm Back!

A warning this post will be photo heavy!

So pleased to see that my scheduled posts worked so you may not have realised that I've been missing, but I have! I took a few photos on our fantastic holiday in Oz (over 700!) but don't panic I'm not going to show them all! Just a few and over a few posts so you don't get too bored! After a loooong flight via Hong Kong we arrived at our hotel in Melbourne in the early hours of Sunday morning (we left home on Friday morning at 7am!). The tour started that afternoon so we were able to get a reasonable amount of sleep. In fact we didn't wake till 11am and had missed breakfast so brunched on a MacDonalds!!

A walk along the riverside in the late morning then it was time to meet our fellow travellers followed by dinner on an old tram while it toured the city.

The next day we had a tour of the city which included a visit to the Shrine of Remembrance, Botanic Gardens and Captain Cook's Cottage and some of the old lanes which are filled with restaurants and coffee shops! In the afternoon we drove to Phillip Island to see the Penguin Parade with stops on the way to see some of the outstanding scenery and a Koala and Kangaroo conservation park.

 

No photos of the penguins though as cameras were not allowed. The flashes would have spooked them ! 

I'll tell you where we went next in another post!
