Underhill achievements

We had a very busy long weekend at Underhill during October. There was a great crowd including Elaine, Greg, Ev, Anne and Terry.

Geoff, Jen, Keogh, Nathan, Karita and Brad arrived on the Saturday and stayed on till the Monday.

There were lots of jobs done including a chimney repair and extension for the old stove so it is now usable.

The wheels are now off the old caravan and being repaired at my mechanics.

We removed everything from the tool shed and threw out lots of rubbish, removed the bath, and reorganised it all.

Then there was the dead Acacia to fell as it was a bit dangerous. Lots of pulling with ropes to ensure nothing was damaged when it fell. There was also some clearing done along the southern fence line.

Anne found a different ground orchid on the top dam wall. And the blossoms were glorious.

Caladenia carnea

It was really great to be able to entertain so many people, all in shelter.

Neighbours Cal and Mick also visited to chat.

Thank you to everyone. Your efforts in all our achievements are much appreciated.

October update

My harvest is great. This bounty greeted me when I returned from Melbourne a few weeks ago.

And this 'angel' image also appeared on my back window while I was away. I have left it there because it is quite fascinating. The bird was not anywhere to be seen so presumably survived.

The siblings had a great time yesterday preparing Leigha's birthday dinner. This was followed by "The Princess Bride" video during a huge thunderstorm.
