A touch of Autumn in May.

The Punchbowl Reserve is not very far from home about 10 minutes.  It's a good place to take the children so they can run around look at the ducks and native hens.
Went there earlier this month to see how the autumn colour were progressing so several photos were taken.

The first photo it part of the carpark, then the next one is when you get inside the gate, you see picnic tables, the next photo is the barbecued area and the pond.

Family Picnic.

There was a wonderful family picnic recently at Gowrie Park in North Western Tasmania.  A pretty Tasmanian bush setting with a little creek at the side of the park, mountains above.
The picnic was organized so we could all meet each other for those of us who had never met.  People came from each State of Australia, so there were many of us.  These are the people on my husbands mother's side of the family.  I had a wonderful day, we all did.

Just a few 'cousins' the remainder are to the left.

There are 3 mountains in the area, this is part of one.

O'Neills Creek.

The tables and seats provided plus provisions for a fire.

Family Picnic

On Sunday all the family = our sons, wives and their children came to my late dads house to collect the items that I said they could have.  Not all the grandchildren are in these photos. We had a family picnic in the house with lots of laughs and lovely memories. 

The little boy is 2, he is the one I delivered on the highway in Queensland just over 2 years ago. This family of 5 are the ones that are living with us for the time being.

The other daughter in law's baby is due in November, something we are all looking forward to.
