Another catchup post

Hello out there, been a few weeks since I posted.....whoops....this is a label I have for wrapping around something that I made for my older sister for her bday......need to see her sometime ☺

watched a great railway journey show which featured "the flying Scotsman" which we were lucky to see last year when we were in the UK......going again this year and wonder where it will be this time ♥

when we caught up with Pauls boy and wife and I gave them this blanket that I crocheted for them.....they were very happy with it ☺☺and sent me this pic ♥

we have had a few trees trimmed!!! lol more than a trim but they grow back and need hacking back every couple of years.....birds not happy 

in the back garden......last weekend (22nd may) we headed back to our city joint as were going to a concert ☺

Kasey Chambers Kasey_Chambers info......waiting for the music to start....

I even wore my new ankle boots lol  I have been a big fan of Kaseys for ever and love her country music style with plenty of upbeat happening too 

best I could get with my mobile as it did not like the bright lights lol 

ditto 

but got to share this pic taken by someone else.....her Dad Bill is on the far left...good night it was 

and on the Sunday I had my dearest best friends 60th.....a drinks, canapes and music evening 

they had caterers cooking and serving some delish food.....her hubby Mark is in the black shirt 

and here is Melanie chatting with another friend ♥♥

her brother in the middle came and I have also known him all my life ☺

it was great under this gazebo....and Melanie's son Rory is in the white shirt 

great happy gathering and we sure had plenty of chatting happening all over the place 

the best I could get when she made her little speech of thanks ♥♥

chatting with her bro 

and us.....friends since 1957

a hug goodbye and thanks for an awesome night 

I think Paul had taken enough snaps lol  we caught a bus/train/tram back to the city 

on Monday we decided to go to the IMAX about_imax  and watch on the massive screen a 3D movie with David Attenborough on the London museum....it was fantastic.....

and Tuesday back on the train home we go.....in the last carriage 

and we faced backwards ♥

and it rained along the way.....2hr journey

and look can see the tracks whizzing along......I was happy lol

catching up on some crochet/knitting/sewing and of course washing clothes lol

Grandbabies and family time

got to love this little guys face ♥

and of course this little sweety just before they went out ♥

Grandpa and Cooper.....Paul has worn this same shirt with April when her born and Riley when him born lol 

my special time with Mr Cooper ♥

I left their home after they were back and walked to the station to catch a train to the city....not this one though as this is vline and that is what we catch when going back to our country home so does not stop here lol 

this is the train I caught and spent a night at the city pad again ☺

the following day we decided to catch a tram to st kilda more details here if interested

we had a great walk around and on a different tram back we past Luna Park.....this place has been open since 1913 and even my dear Mum and Dad had a pic taken while they were dating.....fun park it sure is lol 

and the Palais theatre it opened in 1927 and I have been to many a show or concert here.....even saw Alice Cooper here ♥♥

on the tram enjoying the view lol 

St kilda beach which is one of Melbourne's most famous beaches

a restful evening again at home 

and would you believe after 2 nights home we then were heading back to city pad and called in on my bro Robbie and lovely Lynn....had not seen them since before xmas so was real good to catchup with them ♥♥

that night we went to one of our favourite restaurants Docklands Lotus (we now have 3 faves) Paul had Cantonese beef hotplate 

and I had seafood combination......lots of good vegies here ☺

and later caught up on some crocheting.....
