Here are some pix that Emma took of a recent visit to Geelong.

Weekend in Geelong

Last weekend we headed off to Geelong to see Ma & Pa (Ruth and Ian). A 10:40 flight meant we did not have to get up to early but did have to rush in Geelong as we were booked for 12:30 for lunch with Jenny & Ted as well. Unfortunately the fellow in the queue for hire cars did not realise we were in a hurry!


Lunch was good - even though I did not realise the meat loaf in my ploughman's lunch was not bread and buttered it. Ah well, will wear the glasses next time (I wondered why it was so warm....)

Above is a picture of one of the incredible zygotes Pa has growing, it is as impressive as the rest of Geelong is dry - they really need rain.

We went for a drive after lunch and then headed into Geelong to find a motel room. Oops! We seemed to have hit a busy weekend and found the No Vacancy sign out everywhere. Eventually we found a room in Belmont.

There was a restaurant nearby but it was booked out for the night. Take away pizza was good though.

Sunday we saw Ian Ruth again before heading off after lunch.

We were there too

Before we left home we took some photos of our garden. We're on a gardening kick again - trying to sort out the mess under the macadamia. The pix are of some heartsease and a native iris.

We were there at the lunch too - as you can see by J & J's blog. It was a bit chilly but lots of fun and lots of laughs.

Kerrie worried that we were too cold of course but we were OK. The food was ordinary but it was altogether a lovely afternoon.

After lunch we called into see Grandma. She was as confused as ever but is always happy to see us.
