Flying visit return

How I wish that all the bits of my life, all the lovely family, all the lovely friends , could get to meet one another, just once somewhere in the world.
Sue Thomas and her lovely Isa brown chickens that are part of the family....
Our step-son Dylan and beautiful new baby boy, Orson...
Our wonderful friend Gwen who's been around since I was 11. Here with Macgregor's brorther Hamish who was always the groovy elder brother to our foolishly immature trials....
Mardi & Macgreg here with Sue & Adam (her partner) at Gwen's for dinner with our (step) daughter Roxi.The wondrous Olive Honey (Mardi's daughter).......On a different tack here are my wedding presents on the Bride & Groom's bed...
And on yet another tack, I had a few precious moments having a coffee out at Yarra Yering winery with my sis a fabulous spot, very VERY close to where the bushfires were. Here's a photo at the vineyard looking through the cypresses to the blackened grass beyond...
Adam had been working on a beautiful house at Yarra Glen when the fires came through. It was one of the few houses to burn there, the house was almost finished but all his tools were there & he lost the lot. This is it before...and this after, so sad to see such a beautiful piece of Victoria's history raised to rubble.

On a happier note, I went to visit a friend of Sue & Adam's, Sandy Kilpatrick an amazing jeweller. Here is some of her work, boy, if I had the do-ray-me boys,this would all be mine.
