A sunny weekend at Spotty Gum Lodge

Our friend Judith managed to borrow a car and zoomed down the mountain to spend the weekend with us. As usual our time was taken up with walks, conversation, reading, eating and drinking, all activities that are extremely conducive to good health and a sense of well-being. The weather stayed fine with warm sun and cool airs, and the sea was blue and clear and beautiful. Our neighbours, Brendan and Beth, were visited by not one but two Tawny frogmouths, which we inspected with great interest, and I saw a Spoonbill down at the swamp. Also, the Bower birds seem to have returned, I'm pleased to say.
