Vince’s brother stayed with us last night. We always enjoy his company and last night was no exception. He always stays overnight if he comes for dinner. That way, we can all enjoy a wine without him having to worry about driving...

We’ve been on two road trips recently, both quite short. Soon after we set off on the first one, we realised we had very little cash with us. The only pin number Vin could remember was for Bendigo Bank. We weren’t likely to need...

Judy Evans Corrigin in nearby and I think it is better farming country in that area. Small farms weren't really viable and those that were battling were bought out by neighbours. The railway line goes through Corrigin too so that would have had an impact.

The image shows part of the netting and cement which the local people used to create the swimming pool at Gorge Rock. I wrote about Gorge Rock last discussion. Can you see the pattern of the wire in the cement? The pool was 68...

Judy Evans @Fleura You can buy mesh here to cover fruit trees and vines here. I guess you can there too. Some orchards have acres and acres under mesh.

Do you remember me saying that as I peeled and sliced the peaches I would put them in lemon water to prevent browning? I did that all the way through. Each time, though, I saved the water. That lemon water also had bits of peach...

Judy Evans @LadyDuck Every country town has at least one bank building and they are usually quite attractive. Now, the banks are all being closed and the buildings used as something else.
