Everyones a Winner by Janice McFarlane

Last weekend my youngest grandson Harry ran the London mini marathon for school children. Its a mile in distance and children from as young as four can take part with adult supervision. Harry is no stranger to running distance, even at the age of 8 he can run well over a mile with great time. He does cross country try at school and its part of his trying in boxing. There were a number from his school who participated and the weather was lovely but perhaps a bit hot. Once completed everyone gets a medal for participating. Harry enjoyed himself and then demolished a hotdog and extra large chocolate croissant.

Wine Glass by Vicki Avcin

So its not really a wine glass but it is a water tower. Built in 1984 to meet a growing area it stood in its original form, concrete, until 155 blue lights were added to the top in 2003 to make it a prominent landmark for miles around. Later the lights were changed and now change colours or can be lit up to different colours to support different causes/celebrations ie Domestic Violence week, NAIDOC week, even the State of Origin foot ball games. Holding a million litres of water and weighing 400 tonnes, it was located in bushland. Now a beautiful park has been developed below so people can sit and enjoy it. We definitely know were nearing home when we see it. I have always loved seeing it as it was built the year my daughter was born and when the area was rapidly being developed….. it has a lot of memories and I love seeing it as we drive along the roads in the area. Todays designs are both pretty DL size designs, perfect for Mothers Day or a Birthday.

New Garden Project by Sue Way

I am a fair-weather gardener; as soon as the sun comes out, Im outside weeding, pruning, and planting. I love flowers, but since our garden is mostly covered in shingle, I have to rely on plenty of plant pots for colour. I wanted to create a flower bed, but the ground under the shingle is really hard and has been down for years, making it impossible for me to dig.My husband noticed some border edging, and we thought it would be perfect for a raised bed. So we mapped it out and filled it with bags of compost and topsoil. After that, I researched which flowers to buy and had a great time in the garden centre selecting all my favourite perennials. My husband is also growing some bedding plants from seed, which will be ready to add in the next few weeks. While it doesnt look like much at the moment, I believe once those flowers grow and blossom, it will become the beautiful flower bed Ive been dreaming of.
