Lake visit,wild berries, pool

1. The family visit to the bach owned by my sister and her husband was a wonderful time out for us as an extended family. Very relaxing. Some went trout fishing with various degrees of success. Others read, chatted, cooked, ate, drank, played cricket, played cards, walked and generally chilled out. The visit to the natural hot springs was a highlight for me. Thanks, Jude and Tony, for your hospitality.
2. At one stage during our little sojourn at the lake my daughter and I went for a short walk and found some wild blackberries ripe for the picking. We enjoyed them very much. It reminded me of the times in my childhood when we would go to the paddock near our house to get up close to the horses and feast on wild berries. Yummmmm.
3. We had our very first family swim on our return from the lake today. It was great fun, with my husband being the life and soul of the party as usual. Great to see him playing after all the hard work he's been doing - and still has to do.
