The last few weeks.

Here I am  are having lunch with Yamini and Barb in the tea room at the Queen Victoria building very nice it was too, after that I had a nasty dose of flu I had my flu injection too, so off the air for a while but feeling much better now, and the beer fairy ended up in hospital for a few weeks and 6 weeks on antibodics infusions with the nurse coming every day, still not 100% but getting there.

 Our winter has been so cold nothing is growing much.

 My tyre on the wheelbarrow is flat so I guess this wheelbarrow is not going anywhere  soon.

 My bogie was so interthined with moth vine I cut it all back didn't know if it was going to survive but it is coming back fast, it was starved of flowers the last year or two however maybe  better this spring.

 Well at least the stripped wandering dew is growing well not much kills it.

 Down the side is all growing

 mainly herbs and a few flowers

 But all is going well

It all growing in pots and pallets on a cement driveway that is very thick in places and has a few cracks.

 My fake flowers are doing ok at least they are a bit of colour in winter

 I have a few fake birds to go with them

 As our real bird does allow any other birds in his yard, while I was taking photos he landed on my head maybe he was telling me to go too but he allows the beer fairy to pick him up I'm not allowed.

My stay in NZ.

Well it's been a couple of weeks since I came home from New Zealand and life has got very hetic but I will tell you about that later here are the little honeys they are now 2and a bit and full of life and energy, it's not easy to take their picture as they are not still for long.

Their garden is wonderful but on the side of a mountain this is the start of the driveway .

Very green and lush

I think these are the lines to the cable car which were used before the driveway was put in

I like the decking area so does Angus if there is no wind it is a lovely place to sit .

and look over the green garden below.

And here are the kids so grown up looking

And cheeky looking too

Augus has settled in well too.

My latest paintings.

We have had wonderful weather in Sydney and I have spent most of the week in the garden, I went with friends to Parramatta last Tuesday visited the art gallery and the chocolate shop they have a intake in 4 vweeks so I might be in NZ but if I make it I will try and put some in for sale and of course had morning tea in the chocolate shop very nice it was too and lunch at the shopping centre . 

Not a lot has happened in the garden this week so I'm showing my latest painting having trouble with the legs and the third from the back looks like it has a duck head.

I don't mind this can see nothing wrong with it, finished my drawings of the twins but I need more up to date photos they have grown so much.  .

This one is huge just some finishing touches to be done.

The girl in the white jumper has builders labourers hands will have to tone them down a bit.
