An Arch of flowers

18 months ago my sister Anne gave us a little Star Jasmine plant in a pot which she had found at the local Market. It was Winter and there were no flowers on it but we knew we had to find the right place to plant it. I knew it was a climber so we went off to buy a Garden Arch. Then we had to find a place for the Arch and we decided to use it to frame the view and our Birdbath which the birds love. I planted a Honeysuckle on the other side, we fed and watered both plants and this Spring we have been rewarded! Not only do we now have `join up' we have loads of sweet smelling flowers. Thanks Anne!!

A Holiday in Yamba

This is the view from the Lounge Bar of the Pacific Hotel. The tables are all arranged along the windows and it is a wonderful place for a Sundowner.

This is Main Beach Yamba and this is a place where you could easily spend all day. The Kiosk has little tables and you can buy Lattes and even Sushi as well as the usual hot chips and ice creams

We have just returned from a holiday in beautiful Yamba. The Caravan Park where we stayed was right on the Clarence River which was especially beautiful at Sunset. There was a walking path along the bank which allows people to walk along the river from the beach to the Marina. With 5 beaches, lots of great beach walks (with just a little rock hopping), a cute little main street with coffee shops and bakeries and other interesting little shops, the smallest Cinema in Australia and some great Restaurants (including the Pub), this was we felt the perfect seaside town for a holiday. We plan to go back next year to celebrate Alan's 70th which will be in the October school holidays so everyone is invited to join us :)
