Newcastle days....

We have been riding and walking and exploring - this is the nature reserve track between us and the bluff. Beautiful coastal heath and fabulous views to the ships on the horizon... which i must say I also love as it reminds me only of here in Newy...

Saw 3 fabulous things in one day on Thursday last:
1. a SEAL! popping up at Nobby's beach - who knew!!
2. a helicopter (not a Johnson) landing on deck of coal ship exiting port (to collect the pilot I assume - that would be my profession of choice!)
3. a WHALE breaching as I walked back along the breakwall
MAGIC MAGIC MAGIC and none of it photographed anywhere but my mind.


Rexy enjoyed red nose day and we enjoyed him.

eeeeeek !

Sorry it has been some time
We seem to have developed complacency with camera, and me with b-logging. apologies. Here are some photos to make up...

Enjoying life in Newy - spent Sunday at a livesites event where Rex ogled over chickens and 'touch' a little pony. Pony was 'touch' by most of the under-threes in the Hunter that morning....

Here is a photo - loooouuuunnnging on a new chair I picked up for $5 from a house we DIDN't win at auction - went back and splurged on the excellent goodies... Rex looking as though he may doff his cap (in between mouthfuls of rockmelon) and hitch his britches...
