Alanna and Wendy work on the field report

Alanna and I decided that Easter weekend would be a great opportunity to break the back of the 2011 Field Report, and retreated to the quietness of Avenel to concentrate on planning, writing and choosing images.

 

But first we had to pick the
vegetables ripe in the garden

Then we had to do the crossword
(The Age cryptic, of course)

Then perhaps a little bubbly...

The garden needed watering...

Lunch needed assembling...

...cutting and slicing

Time for a little more bubbly...

And then finally...

....a bit of work on the report

Perhaps some more bubbly...

Dirt needed to be shovelled...

...onto the garden bed that John and
Nick helped build last Christmas

Until the sun set and
we had to call it a day

We started early the following dawn...

... on a Road Trip...

... to Koonoomoo...

...or some such place

Stopped at....

... The Big Strawberry...

... for morning tea

And we just had to...

...stop at the Cheese Factory



And now of course, I'm updating the blog...

...and Alanna is learning how to knit

So the Field Report is in safe hands, although we well might still be laying it out he night before it gets printed and distributed!
