St Madeleine

 Mother and daughter

just chatting

Megan the god mother, Jo with Amelia, Mykaela

her dad and the god father,Jeff's brother

listening to the service

Joshua is awake.

He was cuddling to Shane and when

he saw the camera he look straight at it.

He did it a few time.

The next 6 photos are of Mykaela

Christening by water.

The priest was telling her how to put her head

on the side, he was making a joke about

the water running down her dress.

Mykaela was loving it.

There were 5 children being baptised.

Mykaela was the first to be Christened

she looks very happy

I think Mykaela was enjoying herself

Mykaela and I

Then Claude and I drove to Windsor for lunch.

There was a market so we look and I saw a little

bag, I did not buy it but after lunch I came back

and bought it

We had lunch at the pub

Yes I had my usual chicken Caesar salad but

Claude had a wild rocket, goat cheese and pine nut salad.

Reflexions

Saturday 19 November

canoeing in the Royal National Park

 early in the morning, the air was pure

and it was very still.

There were amazing reflexions,

I was entranced with them



Canoeing

Saturday 19 November

Canoeing

Royal National Park

We rowed to the end of one branch of the river

and had morning tea: banana and water.

going up the other branch of the river

under the bridge

We stopped for lunch near a clearing.

As I was at the front of the canoe I jump of

to drag the canoe to the shore and

the mud was very soft and I sunk.

I had to put my hand in the yucky mud

to get my shoes back.

 meanwhile Claude took his time to put on his shoes

as he was on dry land

We saw a couple of goannas

We saw a lot of wildlife from heron to turtles.

having a quiet rest
