Continuing to Brisbane

Thursday and on up the highway to Brisbane, set up at Redcliffe Showground, shopped and went across to Murrumba Downs to see the family.


Sunday was Mothers Day celebrated at Leanne's with a lovely lunch, I made a cheese & onion damper, took cooked chicken, Olivia Paige Gourlay made 4 yummy french style tarts, followed by black forest cake and fresh fruit salad. When you add in the company of daughter and her daughters just the best Mothers Day.

Once again there were chores to be done the next week, you know a womans work and a mans work, is never done.

On the next Saturday we drove to Surfers Paradise to meet brother Peter and Sue who had flown up to celebrate Sue's sister's 50th birthday, they were staying at the Royal Woods, mmm very swish. Went on amphibious vehicle on the waterways and viewed the the beautiful hotels, homes etc., with commentary the weather all adding to our enjoyment.

After our car came back from repairs, Leanne gave us 2 free tickets, which she had been given by her employer at the Entertainment Centre to see Andre Rieu. We rolled along and thoroughly enjoyed this showmans performance from the FRONT ROW, where we had been reseated - WOW The Seekers were featured entertainers, plus 3 tenors and some sopranos, one of whom came from Brisbane (she had the voice of an angel), we considered ourselves to be doubly blessed and came out walking on air.
