June Long Weekend (Queen's Birthday)

The weekend was great, we just arrived at our friends and the rain started, they were over the moon and the farmers around the area were ecstatic.
The news here on the Queen's Birthday carried on about Camilla wearing the dress she wore to the civil ceremony of her wedding, then wearing it to the Queen's birthday function....Well Hello!.....So what, at least she is being more like normal humans and wearing an outfit more than once.........good on Camilla.

I have a picture of our friends latest work in her garden. He is great, except he sometimes frightens her in the dark.

I got so much knitting done while visiting this weekend, we sat around inside most of the weekend, I knitted, we all chatted, ate great food, drunk, and the bonfire was postponed until the Sunday evening because of the wonderful, wonderful rain all day Saturday. I finished off the new babies present, and then started on my Dad's vest, I haven't decided yet as to whether it will be for Father's Day in September or Christmas. I will post photos when I take some.

The bonfire went down a treat, we sat around toasting marshmallows, and having fun (well as much as you can) with the sparklers, the only type of fire crackers we are allowed to use in Australia. The only fireworks allowed are at professionally organised events.
