Update

My last update was February and quite a bit has happened since then.

There’s been a trip to Victoria to visit daughter, son and grandchildren – the first time since 2019 we’ve been able to see our son and granddaughter. She’s grown a lot of course and so have the grandsons, the oldest of whom is up to my shoulder in height now. It won’t be long before he’s taller than me! He’s turned nine last December so I suspect he is going to be a big lad when he grows up.

Daughter and grandsons came our way for Easter and that was really nice, we had some gorgeous weather for it and got out and about quite a bit.

In amongst all that I have finally managed to fullfill my [community profile] fandomforoz  auction obligation and finish the marathon that has been the Lewis Steampunk fic, duly presenting it to my bidders [personal profile] moth2fic  and [personal profile] kat_lair . I admit to feeling a little lost now that it’s finally done and dusted. But no doubt inspiration for new writing efforts will strike sooner or later. If you fancy a look it’s up on AO3 here Death in Jericho

I will be posting some photos from the visiting in due course, once I’ve got around to sorting them all out. In the meantime here’s some pretty pictures from the park.

What great pics. How lovely to be able to go for a walk in the park and see such glorious colours and cute koalas.

Wonderful that you've been able to connect with family. And omg I'm looking forward to the fic so much. Started a bit this morning but got distracted by actual socialising...

Currently enjoying my gift fic!!

I love your wildlife photos.

Amazing photos as usual. I always enjoy your photography, you certainly have a skill to get such amazing close ups, especially the bird shots. I find birds have usually taken flight before I even get the viewing window up to my eye!

I am so excited that you've posted your fic, it is a brilliant tale, beautifully told and I hope it gets the attention it deserves. I am in awe of your writing and ability to tell such a believable story, especially one set in times past *g*

Glad to hear you've finally been able to visit your family again.

Well done on finishing the Lewis fic. I've just downloaded it, to add to my Kindle stash. Looking forward to reading it.

Oh those Eastern rosellas are gorgeous. Are they there, where you live, every year? I have been occasionally surprised to see them here, but it's only once every 10 years or so.
