The good life...

I've just got back from Lisgar Gardens, an absolute wonderland five or so kilometres from home! What a discovery!  Here's a taste:

See the kookaburra in this one:  

If you look closely, you'll see a brush turkey:

I can see myself taking a book and spending a few quiet hours here whenever I get the chance. Next time you visit me, this is where we'll go!  There's no doubt about our local council - they provide so many parks and gardens for us to enjoy, all with free entry.

I've got a real bank of photos waiting to go on the blog, thanks to the many friends who have sent me some.  But I had to jump the queue with this lot as I was so delighted with my discovery this morning.  It's been stormy and raining, so it was a bonus that the rain held off while I was walking round, but pelted down the minute I walked in the door.  The obvious thing to do then was have a glass of red with breadroll and cheese.  Who needs to live in France!
