Leaving Sydney and Tumbarumba.

The weather was lovely, sunny and warm.

Still good travelling along the Hume

Not much traffic

not shaping up too good here this was building up fast

Nothing happened for a while but we did strike rain lots of thunder and lighting and bits of trees all over the road and cold, cold winds.

This was my bed companion, she sits in the corner and watches over you, the beer fairy was smart he took his sleeping pillows and a sleeping bag and slept in the loungeroom in front of the wood fire, lovely and warm but it can get a bit too warm.

The beer fairy, the son and the brother.

Me and my brother in law, he had a stroke 4 months back but is coming along nicely he is still easily tired and has no use in his left arm but will get there with effort he is a fighter and his wife is very encouraging so progress is pretty good.

This is a tiny shed or a playhouse for the grand daughter

Lots of little thing in the garden for me to check out.

The house next door, I rather like it and it's for sale but they are rather more than I thought in such a small town maybe because they are close to the snowfields.

It is still misty and rainy.

My sister in law,  she is very busy and won't let me help not that I'm complaining I don't mind sitting around.

This is the thriving town centre of Tumbarumba "see I learnt how to spell it"

The PUB, always important in a country town.

I was amazed at the amount of traffic this is a small country town at the foothills of the Snowy mountains away from the snowfields and no real tourist attractions but it always has lots of people around.

We went for a walk in the local park

It has a very fast little creek but I think this little bridge is cute.

This creek moves along very fast and there was a no fishing sign but I forgot to take a picture of it.

They have walkways

and a flooded skate park

The rain was moving in again so we went off for a coffee to warm up.

The next day wonderful sunshine, but this is their wood shed so you know how cold it does get

Their back yard

I would have such a big garden, but frost is a problem and sometimes snow.

still it is a good size, they like lawn much more than me.

but I did bring some of these things home

these suckulants are hard to kill not so easy to spell, so i will give them a go at home.

Next doors garden is interesting

Here is the four rogues out the front, not sure why those two are shaking hands.
