We have had a wonderful eight weeks in Brisbane catching up with family and friends.

Thank you to my sister and brother in law for putting us up. Brisbane is the town where I was born and raised, and where our children were born. A big thank you to all our wonderful friends and family who made time to catch up with us at such a busy time of the year. We had a ball and are very blessed to have you in our lives.

Another detached retina, this time not mine, but our nephew’s.

My brother’s amazingly beautiful orchids.

A visit to the Gallery Of Modern Art (GOMA) in Brisbane, with our very own private guide.

Christmas lights and champagne on the waters of Bribie Island thanks to our wonderful neighbours from Melbourne who have recently moved here.

Our friends new puppy Mollie who has the best big sister ever, Maya. (I know, WAY too many photos  but I couldn’t resist.) I’m her self-appointed God Mother.

Heading south. Cheers til next time, Helen and Tim
