Jos & Jo's Trip to Europe

November Nuances

Sorry for the long wait between posts folks, the month is almost over and I realised it has been a while, so here we go!

Jos and I enjoyed a short holiday to Merimbula for 6 days, a beautiful seaside town on the south eastern coast of NSW.   Here are a few shots:

A lovely Australian scene, somewhere between Merimbula and Bega:

Jos about to embark on his first Australian fishing trip from the lake in Merimbula:

and the first Australian fish he caught, a bream! (plus 3 more....)


some of the catch from the other fishermen:

A few pelicans following our boat, waiting for fish scraps after scaling and gutting :



We visited Central Tilba, a perfectly restored and maintained period village, protected by a National Heritage listing.  The township is set against the magnificent backdrop of Gulaga / Mt. Dromedary:





An old red phone box, you don't see many of these anymore:

Near Central Tilba:

Native flora, on the coast near Narooma:

The clouds rolling in on Bermagui:

Jos looking surprised after I tried to push him down the cliff:

View from our balcony:

Near Ben Boyd lighthouse, on the way home:

And finally, a picture of our house - the bricklaying is almost completed.  Only the cladding needs to go up on the second level:

Interior colours - tiles for the front entrance with pebbles; blanco city for kitchen benchtops with woodgrain cupboards and a red splashback.  The olive is for a feature wall.

Carpet, ensuite and bathroom tiles with feature tile for ensuite shower, blanco maple for the bathroom benchtops and colonial skirtings.

And to end my post, I thought I should introduce a member of the family, Maddy's bear 'Ted', who I have forgotten to include.  He is well travelled and has already been to England, Scotland, Austria, Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland, Thailand, New Zealand and a host of other towns throughout Australia:
