Easter choklit. Yumbo!
At Chesterfield Station with Frank Lyon at the start of our Adventure
Getting ready for bed at the airport hotel
Waiting for the plane
Business class luxury :-)
Oh look. It's The Builder (and a strange woman we don't know)
Scrummy dinner. But where's Sleepy?
Found him!
Magnificent dinner at Jennifer Cuddle's flat
Sleepy has a new t-shirt
So does Bernard. (Jennifer Cuddles seems to be meditating over the lettuce)
All in all - it was a good night
She has a flower on her hat
Off to St Kilda on the tram
At the seaside
Hehehehe. Playing chasey with the waves. Run Sleepy, run!
Lunch time
Pre-lunch drinkies
Lindsey sees no need for a glass. Why create unnecessary washing up?
What a lovely shop :-)
Waiting for food at the pub
Look what we can see out the window ...
Professor Emeritus of Theology meets Business Hippo (retired). And Sleepy. And Frank
Meeting the chickens
What a pretty garden
Loverly broccoli. Nyom, nyom, nyom
Oooooo - lots of zucchini for RATATOUILLE
Krumm seems rather outmatched here
Off to the hen party. Frank is the prettiest amongst us ...
... Sleepy is definitely the girliest ...
... and Bernard quite properly the most matronly
At the Hen Party with the lovely Jess and the lovely Emily
PIZZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We had to draw
.... A NAKED MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With Fiona, the beautiful bride
And ice cream
Nyon nyom nyom
slurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp
With the Australian relations
In the garden - sunhats required
This is not the Farley who lives at our Country Residence, but an Australian Farley
Lunch time :-)
Going for a post-lunch spin in the peugeot
We want to drive!!
Playing with Sage and William
Talking to William
Cuddles with the lovely Mandee
And with the lovely Cassie
Frank is tormenting Marmalade
FRANK!!!!! <Tsk!>
A late evening conversation with Zac
Rather hoping that Lucy won't eat us! Bernard has a new scarf
Look! It's a hippo wading pool :-)
With Grandma Stella at a posh country club. In the country. Giggle
Ooooooooo. A pre-lunch drinkie
FRANK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tsk. You can't take him anywhere!
Round of golf, anyone?
Or perhaps a game of pick-up-sticks?
We've gone to play with some alpacas
Pretty, aren't they?
Here's us, disguised as alpacas. Do you think anyone will recognise us?
Off we go for a nice walk along the Balcombe Estuary
But it's a long way when you only have little legs. Time for a rest
Look!! It's a cormorant tree. Who knew there were trees that grow birds!!
Ooooooo. A swimming pool. TIme for a quick dip before lunch
Exercise is good for you ...
Step machines are quite fun
But hard work when you are our size
Wonder what this machine does. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
No parachuting? Not allowed? ;-(
Finally we found an interesting tram to play with
Oooooo - ginger chocolate. YUM!
The maitre d' at the Hippopotamus Bar at the Abu Dhabi airport
And his cheery assistant
It was a hippo, apparently, who came up with the idea of a veggie all-you-can-eat bar. Hippos are clever animals.
See - it says so. Just here. LOOK -- HERE!!!!!
