After sitting down to a hearty meal of pasta and meatballs, I thought it might be nice to go for a walk.  It was getting later and twilight was approaching but it’s a wonderful time to walk in the country.  Rob was finishing something on the internet(gotta love that satellite!) and I was subtly encouraging him to come with me by taking his cider hostage and forcing socks and shoes on his feet.

After leaving our driveway we rounded the corner and saw a family of kangaroos.  One of them had a joey in it’s pouch.  There was a slight standoff as we watched them and they watched us, waiting to see who would move first.  Eventually they must have got bored and gently hopped off through next door’s paddock and Rob and I continued on our way.

Just across the road from Eldredges Winery we saw an owl in a tree on the edge of our property.  Nothing really interesting to report, but it was just nice to see an owl.

We continued on towards the Spring Gully Conservation Park, did the loop of the carpark and then walked back home chatting and laughing and generally enjoying each others company.  It’s nice to just walk around occasionally, take things in and really appreciate where we live and what we’re doing together.
