Odd shaped balls

It's probably disrespectful to Aussie Rules Football to make light with their monuments, but then maybe it's just showing your appreciation. Dulcie might not quite get it though.
 
 
 
 

Sydney side

Well you can't go to Australia without visiting Sydney can you? Sydney's great, you gotta love the harbour, opera house, bridge, Manly, Taronga Zoo, Watson's bay fish and ships, Mossman, Circular Quay and well, the Rocks rock don't they. Thea brought her mate Alec and his brother Bas and Ma and Pa Emma and Steve along for the laughs. Great place great time ..... but it aint Melbourne and Melbourne can't be beat. Nuff said.
 
 
 
 

Skenes Creek Take II

Seeing as we had such a great time over New Year last year we went back to the Blackbery Hill house in Skenes Creek to enjoy the sea, the views, and the company of good friends Richard, Raechel and Abigail with recent arrivals Archie and Lydia. The weather came up trumps, the barbeque was cranked up and the vino flowed (after 7:30). Sensational.
 
 
 
 

Dulcie is 2

Dear Dulcie has chalked up two very fine years and celebrated in style in Eglington Park with her wonderful friends. There was a train cake, games, copious quantities of processed sugar, pressies and lots of really good fun. Dulcie was particulary pleased with her new tutu skirt, so much so she spontaeneously started dancin'. Bless her bum.
 
 
 
 

Round the bend (err Bay)

Armed with a champagne and company lycra the 100 kms from Sorrento to Melbourne simply flew by. Mr Williamson looked quite stylish I think you'll agree!

The Mighty Fighting Hawks

Fielding a young team widely expected to reach a competitive level in a few years time, the Hawks weren't expcted to do too well this season. Seems like the Hawks had forgotten to read the form book because the Mighty Fighting Hawks (Hawthorn Australian Rules Footbal Club to give their full name) made it to the Grand Final and the Williamsons made it down to their old ground to watch along with 20,000 others.

Pre-match excitement

They've only gone and won

Crazy scenes on Glenferrie Road.

The street party goes on.

Life and things

Some of the cool stuff the girls have been up to includes a tennis lesson for Thea (unfortunately she wasn't imediately selected for the Australian youth team) and a visit to see Dorothy the Dinosaur with good friend Rosie.
