It's been a very wet Christmas and New Year here in Brisbane - we can't complain too much though as half of Queensland is currently under water and we have been lucky enough to escape that here.
We had a lovely Christmas. Sophie and Toby loved all of their presents that everyone sent for them, thank you to you all. Here's a selection of pictures of what we have been up to over the last couple of weeks ....
Rick and Ella catching up with each other
Her foot is about the same size as his thumb!
All of the rain has meant that things are growing furiously, and unfortunately the palm tree started to move the fence which meant all sorts of good things started happening - like the electronic gate would not shut! This called for drastic measures and after much deliberation we came to one conclusion - the palm had to go. Why we decided to do this on a 32 degree day that was very steamy I have no idea but it certainly is not an experience I would care to repeat. Bit by bit I carried that whole tree to the trailor! Can I just say that it seemed so much bigger than what it looks.
A before shot ....
Rick armed and ready to go
bit by bit it came down
oops this picture should have been first!
The after shot ... it looks a little bit naked now don't you think. The good news now though is that after realigning the gate it now shuts and movement should not be a problem anymore.
