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!
