Christmas 2001 - Some family in Bristol, some in
Qld ..
This year the family is at opposite ends of the earth. Martin
and Wendy left for 2 years in the UK in October and have Accounting contracts in
Bristol. Coley has just returned
to London from Africa, and so will be joining her big brother and Wendy in
Bristol for Christmas.
Kirsty and Pete, and Harvey's sister Helen and husband Don, plus Christopher,
will be joining us for Christmas 2001 at Couran Cove on South Stradbroke Island.
Happy
Christmas everyone, and all the best for 2002!!
2001 Christmas Lights are Spectacular
As usual our neighbours Wally and Bev have worked so hard to create a
spectacular display of Christmas lights and have been rewarded with FIRST PRIZE
again!
They do all the hard work, and below is what WE get to enjoy from our front
yard!! Here are some photos of the lights ..
October 2001 - Jacarandas bloom
The jacarandas flowered magnificently this year. This photo was taken from
"over the road" - note the wonderful colour in Wally and Bev's
pre-lights garden.
June 5 2001 - Harvey and Judy return home.
Our turn for 7 weeks away together, firstly 10 days "down the
Darling" with the Mitsubishi 4WD Club, then thru Vic to Melbourne on our
own, then across to Tassie and around
the Vic Great Ocean Road to Adelaide for 3 weeks with The Qld Cricketers Club 4WD,
and on our own again up through the Flinders Ranges and
Strezlecki desert, and home. Yes, it's nice to be home again (especially now
that the 'Cruiser is clean, everything is washed and put away).
Have a look at the photos of the trip.
February 4 2001 - Coley and Kirsty
home again!
The girls had a great 7 weeks away together, visiting Graham and Jenny in
Memphis for Christmas 2000, and then travelling through Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize.
Now Kirsty is home in Brisbane, while Coley is "home" with her Kiwi
flatmates in London.
Have a look at their American Trip Diary and
Photos.
January 12 2001
We were not happy to hear there had been a major earthquake off the coast of
El Salvador, 7.6 on the Richter scale. We found out later that Coley and Kirsten
were travelling into Guatemala on a rickety old
bus, a few 100
kms from the epicentre, and they didn't even feel it!
