December

Ripping through the year now! One year since l first started my update! More flowers...............

Poppies galore!

A December visit from the beautiful Sammie.............straight into the rasperbery bushes!

And the beautiful Bethie..................

Yep!

Accompanied by the most amusing and adorable Hugo........

And Koda...........

Sucked in Geoff!!!

December also included a very special visit from my cousin from South Africa. l think we figured we had not seen each other for about 42 years!!!

Gorgeous family

And great memories from meeting up with them again..

Then more flowers...........just because they were so beautiful. 

And beautiful sunsets. l think December is the best month for evening stunners!

The sheep were hot and hanging out for their overcoats to come off. This is a VERY enormous La La who came back from holidays at Mum and Dads as big as a house!

Not surprising though, the grass grows like crazy everywhere. The only time of year the wallabies can't keep up with it!

And we splashed out and had French Doors put in our bedroom. Wow! What a luxurious indulgent thing to do!

But so so worth it!

From which ever way you look at it!

It takes sitting on the veranda to a whole new level!!

Of course we had to move the bed around to the other wall

To get THIS view!

With this refection in the pictures on the wall! Beautiful!

Lilli loves it too! She now lies on the bed and watches us outside!

Money well spent we feel! Not a bad view to have from your bed!

The Lily in my pond flowered in its first year!

A tadpole SMILED at me!!!!

And the pond garden kept on growing!

Beautiful new growth from the hail ravaged Canna Lilies....

And more poppies!

Dahlias

And flowers that looked good enough to eat!

More interesting clouds!!!!

Delphiniums....a favourite...........

Ooooooooooooooo! A poppy!!!!

A beautiful blue geranium...........

And then finally at the end of December the fleeces came off! Phew !

Happy cool sheep.

And l just HAD to include this little dog. l met her in the car park at work. Quite possibly THE cutest Chihuahua l have ever seen!

She made Lilli look like an elephant!!!!

More stunning sunsets................

Beautiful December. A spectacular way to end the year...........

Happy New Year! See you in the next one!
