The start of August

How did it get to be August already? The last few weeks have flown by and it now seems like ages ago since my holiday break.  It's been bitterly cold here this week, helped by a thick coating of snow on the ranges to the west of town.  But only a few more weeks of winter to get through, spring is just around the corner.

We've been finding some more walking spots to take Diesel out and this is the walking track just out of town called Lindsay Bush.  This reserve sadly suffered quite a lot of damage from the Cyclone back in February. In one of my photos you can see the bridge is no longer there, this got washed away and has yet to be replaced.





At the end of this track is the entrance to the Lindsay tunnel. I've never been in the tunnel myself but Glenn used to bike out here as a kid with friends to go through the tunnel. 



Our daphne has started flowering this week, my absolute favourite. I really miss the white daphne I used to pick at my in-laws old house. 


I haven't baked at all over the past few weeks but because it was Glenn's birthday this week, made these yummy chocolate chip cookies and an apple slice for dessert one night.


I don't have stitching photos to share today but I've been stitching away on a few small projects and ornaments to add to the pile to be completely finished.  

Have a happy weekend - see you soon xx

Looks a nice walk , and lovely cookies.
It's been a strange sort of year here to.
We had an early Summer and now it's like Autumn when it should be the best part of Summer.
Have a fun week hugs June.

A lovely quiet place for walks. Suppose to be summer here but temps quite low as it has been very windy and rain on and off the last days. Hope it will warm up soon though.
Have a happy week.
