When the children were younger we used to go to the Bush to pick up firewood....There is a marvelous Painting which I can't remember who the Painter was but he is famous in Australia...it might come to me.... but in the painting you see the Husband chopping the wood the wife sitting on a log and the little ones playing around her...well that is how it was....although when the wood was chopped we would all gather it and put it in the back of the car.....we also used to go the the King of the West Lake in Kalgoorlie...yes there is a Lake there even though it is so arid....it was on somebodies property and he kindly would let the public in.....we even had a speedboat on it that was Tony's brother Don's ...I loved to sit behind the wheel and go a bit crazy !!!! I just loved speed.......Anyway we would go most weekends......it was before Tony and I were married so Katie and Lee mostly enjoyed the splashing. The ground though in the water was a thick slodge and black not pleasant but who cared it was water and it was hot....so just knew to never swallow it.
I loved our holiday times we would come down to Perth catch up with family and just enjoy each others company.....
The outdoor bush for me is and has always been a favourite place ...I love hearing the birds....
It's one of the reasons why I love living where I do as I can always here little birds..we both do...
Such a shame that it is spoilt by not feeling safe at times, as again last Sunday 6 youth tried to break into our shed and Vanessa's car.
Brings back memories of us going out of Kal to get firewood when I was a kid. That's awful about the attempted break in, hope Vanessa's car is ok xxx
