Our Piper

I was so proud to see my Grandson playing his bagpipes in the City of Newcastle RSL Pipe Band for ANZAC Day. I particularly enjoyed their performance at the Mayfield exServices Club.

Lest we forget.

Our piper is the young one in these photos

Busy Backyard

 There's quite a bit of action in our backyard in Carey Bay today.

A Dozen at Easter

A dozen of the best. We are blessed to have such a tremendous tribe of grandchildren. 

Thanks to our younger son and family for hosting our Easter Egg Hunt today.

Opening Japan

We saw many beautiful gardens and blossoms on our recent cruise around Japan. When visiting the sites on our itinerary (or travelling to and fro on buses) I took grabbed the opportunity to take some pics of doors that represented the local culture.

Lobster

Robert finally had lobster tonight even though it's on the Seven Seas Voyager menu every day.

Lost not found

Our guide in Osaka, Japan kindly gave us a card so, if we got lost, she could find us. When we came out of the restroom she was not waiting as promised so we phoned her. 

It was a shame that she didn't answer her phone! 

When we eventually found her we enjoyed our visit to the Osaka Castle which was surrounded by cherry blossoms.

Here comes the Bride

Our poor guide had trouble managing our group yesterday on our Mount Fuji tour when we came across a traditional Japanese wedding at a shrine we were visiting. We all ditched the guide to snap the wedding party.
