Hello from Lorne

Things have been hectic these past few days and I have not been able to post much but.....
here are a few photos of Lorne that I have taken while I have been back here catching up with family and friends.It has been quite cold since I arrived and I have had to borrow warm jumpers from my sisters.But Lorne is still beautiful as you can see by the photos.The new" streetscape"is all finished and looks great.
I will be back posting from Noosa on Wednesday.See you then. sharon xx

Summer Daisies

When I first arrived back here at the house in Lorne I was a bit sad to see the state of the garden.Weeks of hot weather had taken it's toll and a lot of the plants had shriveled and died.But I was determined to find a few flowers for a small posie to put on the coffee table and here is what I found.I love the yellow daisies and the lipstick pink geranium.

CHRISTMAS 1955

 

  When we were little,Mum and Dad would drive us all the way to Melbourne from Lorne(2 1/2 hrs) so we could have our photo taken with Father Christmas.Here I am in the middle with my two sisters Christine and Kay.My two brothers were not even born yet.I am guessing this is Christmas 1955.I don't know if Myer were doing their windows back then but I know that was another not to be missed Christmas tradition in our house, as I know it was for a lot of people ,and we took our two boys as well when they were little.Just two days ago I had a peek at the" windows" while I was passing and was very dissapointed.Where are all the beautiful fairy lights and tinsel and pretty christmassy things? Is all that so politically incorect now?Anyway I hope all the littlies and their mums who were there looking the day I was passing loved what they saw just as much as I did all those years ago.

Merry Christmas everyone.
