November has witnessed a busy and occasionally, frustrating time at work. Evenings have been exceptionally social with minimal downtime. Our friends Jim and Linda went back to New Zealand for a couple of weeks leaving us to keep an eye on their beautiful property,

water some vulnerable plants and borrow their ute when needed. The plant watering was arduous work – the exertion in the heat forced me to hand over to Louise and take it easy –  photo on left.
