"Lily" the Miniature Poodle.

Lily is settling into our family beautifully. It would seem she was meant to be with us. We constantly laugh at her funny antics, and enjoy her happy, gorgeous nature. She is quick to learn, and eager to please, cheeky, and a boundary checker, loves a game, and a cuddle. Not so keen on being groomed, but learning. Also learning to walk on a leash. Enjoys her new toys and tears around the house or the yard with one or the other of them in her mouth. She also chooses her own toys, a piece of rope in the yard to race around with, and inside wanted my slippers! She was most disappointed to discover that I was not thrilled with that idea and took them off her! She sleeps on her bed in the laundry and only complains with mumbles and grumbles when put to bed, and then is quiet all night, until the first person gets up in the morning. That, unfortunately for me is my husband who rises at 5.00am to get ready for his work. Once Lily hears him she "mumbles" and "moans" until I get up soon after and take her out for her morning toilet, and then (because she's a good girl, and a spoilt one) she comes inside and gets to curl up on top of our bed with me until 7.00am, a much more reasonable time to get up, I think.She eats her dog biscuits, when nothing better is being offered, but will happily eat any people food offered to her. All in all, she is a delight, and a much cherished addition to our family.

Great Places To Visit - Sanders Apples U-Pick and Orchard Tours. Three Bridges Yarra Valley Victoria Australia.

Like to do something a little different? Love fresh home grown produce? An apple a day keeps the doctor away, or so they say. So why not treat yourself and the family and friends to a new experience. U-pick apples. That means you get to go into the orchard and pick your own fresh apples! You can have a guided 45 minute tour walking or for more fun for the kids (any age) a tractor tour! See first hand how an orchard operates and gain an understanding of the apple growing process.  Great education for the kids to learn how their food is grown and produced. Not just the product on the shelf in a store. Want to have a picnic with the kids? No better place than Sanders Apple Orchards , Three Bridges, Yarra Valley, Victoria. First you can take your time wandering through the rows of apple trees, hand-pick your apples straight from the tree and enjoy them with your picnic lunch in the beautiful surrounds. Fresh apples for dessert of course! The kids will love them, and so wil...

Great Places To Visit: Tocumwal NSW on the Murray River.

 Perhaps I'm a little prejudiced, as Tocumwal is my home town, but I've always loved the Murray River Red Gums and watching the river & the bird, animal life here. All year around it delights me. Even the noisy Corella's can't put me off, I love living here. So why would a visitor want to spend time in Toc? Let me list just a small few off its attractions for you: Water sports: Fishing, skiing, swimming, canoeing, and any other water play you might like.

BIG variety for good old schnitzels, salads & chips to take-a-way favorites, great Coffee & Cakes and Bakery delights to tempt the taste buds!!  If you're an Artist or Photographer then Toc is a plethora of diverse landscapes to draw (pun intended) your attention. I for one have never tired of its beauty.  For the traveler's in their campers or caravans Toc has a selection of options for you to...

Italy - Florence - Firenze

Lovely Florence, or Firenze as the Italians say. A pretty spot. Great to walk around. We walked from the centre of town where we were staying up to Michael Angelo's lookout. Quite a distance!! Lots and lots and lots of steps!!! AArrrr. Was good for me, I'm sure, but if there is a next time.....I'm taking the bus! The weather was kind to us for our few days in Florence, shining down on us each day. Temp was around 24 C. Not bad for the end of summer/early autumn. (Sept) Here are our "sites" from Florence.
