The Cool of the Garden

The heat yesterday was at 40 degrees high and it was like opening an oven door each time you get out to the open! And the Garden at Beatty is hot and cool!!! Hot because the dry spell has caused the hot chillies to fruit profusely! And cool because it was nice to have a dinner there like last evening.

Ha!Ha! The outdoor set put to good use for sure. The only uninvited guests were the flies and believe me, we killed quite a handful but none fell into the soup! It is remarkable that the temp suddenly falls in the evening. By the way it is bright at 5 am and still bright at 8 pm now in Summer.

And how was the Christmas weekend at Busselton? Well the Abbey resort was just fabulous. There are three bedrooms with three showers and toilets, inhouse movies 24 hours, two outdoor and on indoor swimming pool. And a Christmas luncheon at the Cafe for $150/- which we went just to look at the menu.
Oh, it is next to the beach which has jellfish, sand flies and no fish. But they hire two sting rays to swim the beach to put up a show there are fishes there.

And this is Sarge Wen trying all kinds of lure to catch something but got nothing in the end. On the last day, we did no even go to the beach to fish. Kaledoscop3 and Lins had a better idea - they went to town to buy seafood.

And there was a nice BBQ pit for the sea food to be cooked.. Well not all are sea food as the above is kangaroo meat. Kept jumping up and down when it was cooking. And off course, everyone had hiccups after eating and hopping made.

Look at the scenic lake next to the chalet with ducks swimming everywhere. And the fishless beach. The trick to get to the beach at about 7 pm when the sun is down and it suddenly becomes cool. Busselton is about 2 hours drive from Perth. Unfortunately the Jetty is closed and not much fishing could be done. Image the hard work of 9 Taylor rigs not being put to use!
                                         Having said everything, it was a extremely relaxing family Christmas. We almost watched all the 10 DVD Kaledoscop3 brought and the five books from Sarge Wen.
                                         Praise to be to God for a wonderful Christmas.
