Here's a little bit of Spring for you all to enjoy. My favourite wattle in my driveway. Smells divine!

Looks lovely! Gorgeous big gum tree and pretty wattle. Is that a little pond to the left?

It's an ancient red gum Kym - actually a lot bigger than it looks in the picture. To the left is the creek. It doesn't always flow but does have some water in it at the moment. It's a gorgeous spot. I love it here.

God no wonder ya car is falling to bits !!!!

I planted heaps of wattles when I had the block at Gracemere and they were fabulous when in bloom.

I don't drive through the creek Bob, I do drive over the bridge! Nothing wrong with my car, it gets me from A to B, that's all I ask of it.

Love it Heather - wattle is one of my favourites and the road is fine as far as I can tell - piece of cake - you must be a bit of a Woosie Bob if you think that road is bad :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

That piece of driveway is piece of cake Maureen. The top bit up the hill has been washed away a bit with the heavy rain we had at some stage. However, you just drive to one side and make a new bit and she's apples! Nothing like a bit of 4x4 in the old ford station wagon! My father taught me well! When I was a kid, Dad had a Combi van which we would take to all sorts of places it should not have been able to go. When I was 10 he finally bought a Toyota Landcrusier. Then the fun really started! :)

A Ford, A Ford, No wonder you had trouble with the klunk Klunk noises.

No I'm not a Woosie Maureen, I was just concerned for Heathers safety, But now that she has told us of her driving expertise I can relax again. ????

Oh the road has heaps of hazards Bob, Heather could run into the gum tree, dive into the creek, knock down the fence...wattle she think of next :lol: :lol: any insurance assessor will tell you that they get multitudes of claims where people claim that they were under attack from all of these hazards and that they were good drivers

eg - I had been shopping for plants but a hedge sprung up as I reached the intersection and attacked the car. I did not see the other vehicle coming.

The telephone pole was approaching fast. I was attempting to swerve out of its path when it struck my front end.

Coming home, I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don’t have. (unlikely unless Heather has been on the turps :lol: )

I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows ...Heather has cows Bob and Phoebe looks to be very caring

Believe me I am not having a shot at your driving Heather no doubt you are an excellent driver proven by all the miles you covered helping people after the fires. I have the dubious honour of being able to reverse into the only tree in a 100 acre paddock :oops: :oops: Reversing I hasten to add in my defence is not something I do - now you know why :lol: :lol:
