A Wonderful Weekend

My husband and I had a wonderful weekend away to to the gorgeous coastal town of Elliston. We were able to share it with some good friends too which was lovely. There was plenty of beautiful scenery and wildlife, lots of walks, fishing, 4wding and a few of the surrounding towns really captured my heart, I could live in Coffin Bay.

Here are a few photos of the long weekend ....


We met these guys ...



 

In Australia we seem to have lots of "big" things ... the big banana, pineapple, merino, crayfish etc etc. Meet the big thongs ....

 

..... and some big rocks (aka Murphy's Haystacks)


Bella had the time of her life swimming, running and playing unleashed on the leash free beach and it was so handy staying in a dog-friendly caravan park ....


At Point Labbat we came across this cute baby sealion swimming in a rock pool .....

 

With these guys hanging around nearby .....


The weather was perfect and coming home I feel rejuvenated and so grateful to live in this beautiful land and have wonderful friends and family and so many other blessings!

Our Beach Friend

My husband is away on a business trip and took the camera with him, so I can't show you the blocks that I'm currently working on. He was meant to return today or tomorrow but the surrounding roads are closed due to flooding so I'm not quite sure when he will be home. At least he's taken the 4WD so he should be able to get home once the flooding subsides a bit.

I may have mentioned it before ..... quilting may be my thing, but 4WDing is definately my husband's thing. He loves working on his 4WD with one of his mates and we enjoy going for drives together on a Saturday when we can. A short while back we went on a day trip 4WDing in some amazing sand dunes and we came across this fella .

Nap time .....



A stretch and a scratch ....




On the move .....




We kept our distance and just enjoyed him from afar.

And this is what I'm hoping to work on this weekend.

I'll have more to show when the camera (and my dear husband of course) gets home.
