Happy Birthday Mum

Well yet again I’m behind; it is difficult to keep up.
I am going to tell you about our weekend because it was splendid.
Our friends Sue and Charlie are here from England so we decided to pop off to the Grampians for a weekend of country living. I don’t know if I have managed to convey just how cold it is right now, but I have actually had to buy a coat. And with a planned weekend of walking in the wonderful National park a pair of sensible shoes were also a requirement. El managed to find a wonderful cottage in the heart of the Grampians- Halls Gap and so we set off after work on Friday on the 3 and a half hour trip to take us back to nature.
I love arriving in the dark, you just know that when you wake up you will be amazed by the views and we were not disappointed. I woke up and took my coffee to the balcony where I was met by a rather friendly looking wallaby who hopped around the garden before taking a small piece of bread out of my hand...
We set off to the aboriginal ran tourist centre and with some helpful advise set off for some rather spectacular walks.

I am sorry that I can’t tell you more right now but it is 20 to 12 and I am really rather sleepy, you do however have my word that I will finish this in my lunch break tomorrow and so you will have it first thing in the morning.

Happy Happy birthday Mum I really hope you enjoy the rest of your day

All our love Leah and El
