Bubbles

I am rather fond of drinks that have bubbles like Perrier and Pepsi or my other favourites Coca-Cola and Champagne. As we are no longer allowed to call our wonderful sparkling Australian wines Champagne I just call them all Bubbly.

In our family we celebrate everything from births to burials and any event we deem appropriate in between with a glass or three of bubbly. As I'm not a connoisseur of fine wine I will drink practically anything as long as I like the taste. Over the years I have samples a few tipples. Here are a few. CHEERS!

We enjoyed this in Budapest

Great Western in 1987

Christmas 1998

Another bottle done and dusted

We are always welcomed on Regent with a bottle or two

Calming the pre-flight nerves in the Qantas Lounge

A local drop ? in Cape Town

I'm happy to drink Prosecco if it's not too sweet


This was a Bubbly ordinaire on Regent

Relaxing at home

I don't buy Veuve but if someone gifts it we have to drink it


A glass of Bubbly is always good after a hard day at sea

We enjoyed this on Le Levant, a small Ponant ship

Grandson on Patrol

Proud of our eldest Grandson who with his schoolmates volunteers for surf lifesaver duty on a local beach. Here are some pics of Patrol 14 in action at Cooks Hill Surf Club. 

The squad practiced boat launches and kept swimmers safe as they enjoyed the beach weather.

Downsizing in the Backyard

Our neighbour has replaced his larger sailing vessel with this quaint timber half cabin model. A new view for us.

20 Something Snaps - Solar and Wind Power

In a meme circulating on Facebook an American woman has asked if anyone remembers their mothers putting washing outside to dry on a line. Does she not recognise the value of letting Mother Nature take care of our clothes' drying? 

In my albums I have several images that show many instances of clothes being dried by solar and wind power.
