Let’s start with family connections and in fact Aunty Dot who part raised all my daughters through the 80’s & 90s!!
And from the youngest daughter to 6 of the grand kids here!

I got to catch up with dear Aunty Dot but she has since passed on just months later.

Ah! And Xmas not to far ahead – here in SA near Mannum!

So my expanded family also loves Halloween and I discovered, so does a whole wack of South Aussies out near Tea Tree Plaza kinda realm NE of Adelaide! I was quite astounded at the effort!  And as you can see my grandkids have been taught to play Jenga to the absolute edge – ie. keep stacking them up !

And between these times lie still more festivals like…

Dave Flower’s – Flame Tree Fest!
a bit south of Townsville

Joined again by Tim Woodz, Karl S Williams, Rob Longstaff (above) and Niq Reefman (in the water)!
Plus Rosie on Fire like – Circus with Purpose

Oh! And this “city” of a Wasp haven over a foot long – kinda nearby!!

We were so glad to spend so much time with Tim – here joining us on Sharn’s Virtuosos on the Verandah with none other than Daniel Champagne & myself and , oh yeah – them thar Critters!!
