Scenes of our Busselton Life

---

The farmers markets are held every Sunday and we always shop here for our fresh fruit and veges, mostly salad items. The stonefruit has been fantastic and we are eating so much stonefruit at the moment, nectarines being top of our list. Always a good morning to meet other happy travellers from the park and share a few stories of where they have been and what to see.



The beach has to be the highlight for us though and Jackie just cannot get enough of it. Every day a trip down to the beach is on the agenda, if only for a walk. However lately she is getting very brave being led on by another freind of hers a black Lab cross that dives in the water to fetch a toy, Jack thinks this is great fun and now dives in also, another big step for her ! Previously we would have to carry her in for a swim which was straight back to the beach! But now she swims around out there with her little tail doing circles like a propellor. Recently I have been borrowing a surf ski and Miss Jaqueline Russell thinks this is fantastic, taking Captain Jack (Johnny Depp eat your heart out) to a new level. She loves it, barking at the waves and splashes and attempting to walk around on the edge and more recently she has taken to standing right on the bow. Yes, she has fallen off, but swims straight back to the side to be hauled aboard again.

Caravan Clubs !!!
...we see lots of these clubs coming through the park. Here they have a group getting ready to entertain them at Happy Hour (4pm) ...the lead singer was 84YO ! I took this to remind me never to join one of these clubs !

Geographe Race Week
Apparently a big week in the Yachties calendar, but because it is shallow most of the activity was along way out so it was not a great spectacle for onlookers. We read it was all a big success though

Recent blogs.
They make great reading of a wonderful trip/ stroke holiday. Agree with Faye Gronow's remark and will look out for discs of the girl - have to look back for her name. Certainly a surprise to find the Humber and your Ute alongside; even more of a coincidence if they had actually been our vehichles. love Mum. xoxox

The Girl....
Her name is Kate Hindle and yes, it will be interesting to see how far she goes in the industry. How about those cars ! It was funny to see them both together, I thought that it would bring a smile to you :)
