Due to Mum's ill health, the last few years of her life, it had been several years since he had been up to visit the. He really enjoyed the overnight outing.
I must admit, I have said it before and I will probably say it again - I love visiting Ron and Iris and Ballarat is so beautiful. We had a quick visit (Dad cannot walk far and he feels the cold) to the Botanic Gardens and then a lovely Sunday lunch at an English pub, the North Britain, then home.
So, I have lots of lovely photos to show you:
Our first female prime minister, Julia Gillard, has had her bust added to the Avenue of Prime Ministers.
There are a lot of beautiful classical statues in the gardens, I wandered around and took a photo of each one I could find.
Long before Mel Gibson's Braveheart, as a child, Sir William Wallace was my hero, such a nice surprise to find him here.
There were at least two weddings taking place, a quick shot to show my daughter-in-law to be some ideas for bridesmaids dresses.
My Uncle Ron enjoying a Guinness with his lunch.
Well, that is all from me folks, have a great Monday,
hugs,
