		<title>The Moose, the Gargoyle and the Ogopogo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Look what arrived today from Canada to join Kelly&#8217;s menagerie.
Here they are introducing themselves to her &#8220;gargoyle&#8221; which is ageing gracefully under the maple in the garden.
The moose is one of a pair and the Ogopogo is a miniature interpretation of the creature from  Lake Okanagan in British Columbia.
The Gargoyle has been awaiting Kelly&#8217;s return [...]]]></description>

		<title>Diving into the Past</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During the 1950s my mother would often take my brother and me to the Sydney Royal Easter Show for the day. She had been raised in the country and I imagine the many rural exhibits rekindled many happy, childhood memories for her.
Show bags in those days were known as ‘sample bags’ and they were much [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Do You Know?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Christmas is fast approaching. This will be my younger granddaughter’s first Christmas. She is nearly walking and I’d say by Christmas there’s a fair chance she’ll be up and running. I guess her sister Eloise will have to arrive at the Christmas tree faster this year to see what the jolly, old fellow has left. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Birthday, Kellyanne</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The temperature and the humidity are starting to climb and that lazy summer hum is in the air. At the moment there are no obvious signs or sounds of cicadas this year. Boisterous cockatoos have been having a field day ransacking the peach tree. The familiar rufous red glow of the Christmas bush in the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Revisiting the Coonabarabran and Binnaway Region</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week my wife and I travelled to Coonabarabran and Binnaway in central New South Wales. It was a spur of the moment decision. Five years had passed since we last visited the area where we came as teachers and first met almost forty years ago. The region holds countless memories for us both. It [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Rollercoaster Ride</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
While at the museum
We sit in a car
A rollercoaster car.
Although the car
Stays where we are
In our minds we travel far.
***
Climbing slowly
Oh, so slowly
Up to the very top.
Then, over the rise
Just close your eyes
As down, down we drop.
Rattling tracks
And straining backs
Around the bends we fly.
High in the sky
Hear us scream and cry
Thank goodness I left that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I climbed down to Cripple Creek yesterday. It runs behind our home and I hadn&#8217;t been to it for a few years. Here are some of the images from the bush walk and you can read more about it  in the article called Exploration of Cripple Creek.

		<title>Kelly Has Gone To Canada</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago our younger daughter Kellyanne flew off to Canada for a year or two. Although she will be greatly missed, I am just so happy for her and look forward to hearing about her adventures as she explores Canada and other places. Within a week of arriving in Vancouver where she [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Wattle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The wattles are back and blooming on our bushland block. Although the wattle can apparently bloom at any time of the year, its blossoms are usually associated with the coming of spring.

The wattle blossoms in our back yard have definitely arrived earlier than last year. The fires of 2001 savagely destroyed most of the bushland [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lennox Bridge Lament</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Graffiti is defined as words or drawings scribbled or sprayed on walls and the like. The verbs in the definition suggest that speed is an obvious characteristic of this anti-social practice. Let’s face it, you don’t want to get caught performing an act that deliberately defaces property that is not your own to do with [...]]]></description>
