Home for the holiday

Celia came home for Pauline's Wedding as her mum Fran is Celia's best friend. As fate would have it it was also Celia's 65th birthday so we had a few celebratory events. 
This was the first time Celia has been home in Summer for years so she was delighted to see how light and bright the new Unit is.
Unfortunately she arrived in an unprecedented HOT November with temps over 34 every day and we made an escape to Aireys Inlet 

Enjoying the courtyard and summer weather 
Holding court in Brooklyn 
We wanted to go to Aireys Inlet to scatter Spencer's ashes which we did on a warm sunny day into the waves on an outgoing tide at Sunny Side beach An appropriate farewell.

As well I had had some gardening done at the house for my benefit but also as a suppose for Celia for her birthday.
I had all the dead trees cut down as well as other that were not doing well This opened the ground up and some trees have taken off!  
I also put up plant climbing frames in the garden off the deck, and paved a grass section for the table umbrella for a dining area.
I also replace the matchstick blinds in the living area.
Celia notice them and exclaimed at them (not noticing through the uncovered door the garden) 
When I raised the blind I said 'some more' You cleaned the windows!!  NO look THROUGH the window
Then she saw it and was suitably impressed 
The weather was so perfect we spent time out in the garden and pulling encroaching vines off the trees. A good Workout !
