3 generations in the same place over time.

 I found some photo's within some albums over time.

These three are of three generations in the same place over time

It is a doorway at St Mawes Castle.

None were Born there but two are buried nearby at St-Just-in-Roselands

 This one was taken in the late 1930s sometime

John Pervial Sayce (1899-1989)

 This one was taken in 1950 

John Sayce (1929-2007)

This photo of my dear Wife Jennifer Nee Sayce was taken in early 2018 

Now for the next generation to step up and have there photo there

 

Quick Visit to Lissa

We succeed in getting up to Dubbo to Visit Lissa. 

  

Australia is vast and boring to travel in.

 

We got to play with the Dogs and gave them new nic names. 

They got called Mac and Cheese

We went out and let Mac chase his ball, and watch jakob run and fetch as well and MAC has poor eye sight sometimes.

 We went for a drive to Orange to do some baby shopping.

and relaxed in the park.

Got to see the baby growing and kicking. the little princess is due in August 

 We even took some family Photo's

Self Isolation

Self Isolation -
Well, we went into Self Isolation on the 6th of March.
It is now been almost 4 weeks since then. WFH has been interesting, Jennifer hasn't been asking me to do to much while I have been working. I am extremely lucky that we have FTTH, So the Internet is good and strong for us.

All the kids are in Self Isolation as well in their own homes.

So this is to record the unusual sights I have seen.
1/ As I drove the Dentist in Geelong, I passed Avalon airport, where I got to see row upon row of Planes parked, Qantas, Jetstar and Tiger all parked in nice tidy rows.
2/ Petrol Station with only 2 pumps open and both as far apart as could be.
3/ The usual Supermarkets with not much on selves and very few customers
4/ Bunnings open and only 4 people per row. they are still busy due to all the home improvements going on.
5/ Police checks to validate where we are going.
6/ Children on their bikes ride around everyone at a good distance instead of trying to go through them.
7/ Dogs being dragged along because the walk is a lot further then they are used too.

What I miss most,

1/ Church, going to church.
2/ The chatter of the office and finding out what staff are up to.
3/ Just a country drive.
4/ just walking through a farmer market.

Oh well one month down, many to go.

Barwon Heads - a small visit to explore

Barwon heads is about an hours drive from home
This little town reminded me of the seaside towns in New Zealand.

We stopped for brunch, and ice cream and Jennifer purchase some fabric.

 The Harbour beach looked like it had it all, calm patches

 Pools to explore

And sand for kids to play. 

We drove out to watch the surfers enjoying the waves before heading home.

Werribee Zoo - day out in the sun

We purchase yearly tickets in go tot he local zoo's

So on Saturday, we thought, why not. 

 The theme for the zoo is the Rhino's

They have a breeding herd

The Arabian Oryx was on show as well

But it was this big Rhino that had the show

The sun was bright and Jennifer had her sun hat on even in the open air wagon's

 It's call the Werribee Open Range Zoo so the animals can move around

and mix freely.

A pleasant Morning on a sunny day.

The Bushfire Smoke

The Smoke on Sunday night left us with a red glow.

 So we had a red star

 By Monday morning the smoke was thick in the city.

This was at 08:00 in the morning, Sunrise had been at 6:05

By 10:00 it hadn't changed, 

It was to stay like this until Wednesday afternoon when it started to rain

Not much but hopefully enough to clear the smoke.

So right now, it's a mix of Rain and Smoke.

Lets pray for those in the heart of the bushfires...

Melbourne Zoo with Abbey and BJ.

BJ and Abbey are on Holiday with us for a week.

So Abbey wanted to see the Zoo. So off we went to the Zoo.

Lemurs were the first to be seen.

 Monkeys were next

 Pigmy Hippo was out and enjoying the sun

 Lizards were also out and about.

This guy was not very happy.

 The Tiger was not happy either as it was pacing side to side.

The turtles were out in the sun.

but we made it to the butterfly house. And the Butterflies were out in abundance.

 With the gardens bloomings away for them

 Abbey just wanted one to land on her, and she got her wish. They didn't even notice one was on Jennifer as well.

 The elephants looked bored.

 This lizard was very slow-moving.

But the picture of the day was the Meerkat as we were leaving
