Day 229/366

Once again, it's difficult to choose just one photograph to depict the day's experiences.

On our way south, after stopping at Bangalow for morning tea, we went to Bexhill, to visit the open air cathedral.

The 'cathedral' is surrounded by a memorial garden with a beautiful array of Australian native plants.

The majority of the native plants are grevilleas. 

Grevilleas come in an array of colours, from ivory, to gold to red to pink to apricot.

Grevilleas belong to the family Proteaceae and are known for their quirky resemblance to a toothbrush.

Like this one:

After our visit to Bexhill, we drove to Casino where we went on an op-shop crawl.

We managed to pick up a few bargains which I will post about once we've returned home.

(Actually, our op-shop crawl began in Bangalow!)

Day 85/366

This Month In The Garden.

August.
Saturday September 10.

A dedication.

I would like to dedicate this post to those who passed in the last six weeks or so.

But mostly my Dearest Uncle who left this world just short of his ninetieth birthday.

To my Mr Honey Pie's work colleagues - two in the same week. 

To my sewing teacher's elderly Aunt.

To local icon and Grandmother Shirley Wilson, who died tragically in a house fire one week ago.

And last but not least...to my Dearest Daughter's school friend, overwhelmed by the pain of life.

All gone to a better place.

Here in the southern hemisphere, we celebrate the first day of Spring on 1st September.

Thank you for visiting my garden.
This post IS a little late; due to some gremlins sabotaging my post!
