Summer Outings – Ballarat Botanic Gardens

I recently went to visit a friend of mine who lives near Ballarat. The weather had been quite hot, but was a little cooler this day. Well…we thought it was meant to be lol. If in the shade and the clouds came out it wasn’t too bad, but when the clouds and the shade disappeared…it…

Summer Outings – Grantville Jetty

Grantville is about 45 minutes from where we live, heading out towards Phillip Island. We’ve been here before (didn’t have much luck with that sunset either).

Share your world – 22nd December 2020

Christmas for so many is a lonely time of year, I’m not saying I’m lonely, but our gatherings are certainly getting smaller and smaller.
