A most delicious seafood dinner was enjoyed on the front deck, the weather had cooled down, and was most pleasant for our door dining.
Russ doing what he loves to do, he is so kind, peels all the prawns for everyone else to eat.
New Years Eve day saw us down the Skydancers in Harcourt, where they especially put on breakfast for us, just because we had rung to enquire. Judy and I had the "green breakfast", egg, pesto, avocado and parsley . Just delicious! Again the weather was lovely, and we sat outdoors,under one of the huge shade sails they have installed there.
After such a large breakfast/brunch, a fruit platter was all that was needed for mid afternoon snack, and Russ excelled himself with the making of the same.
A BBQ for dinner, and more outside dining, this time on the back patio. We all managed to half stay awake for the countdown to midnight, wished each other a Happy New Year with a kiss and a hug and were all bedded down by 12.05!
New Year Day dawned with the promise of a hot day, but we headed off to Maryborough to watch the street parade for the Highland Games. This was mostly wonderful local pipe bands, with some dancers and brass bands thrown in for good measure.
Our own local Castlemaine Pipe band was there, and put on a good performance, as did all the others.
It was very hot standing in the sun, so Judy sought shelter, and made a new friend, who had done the same.

After our visitors had headed off home to Mulgrave, we had some more of the furry and feathered variety that evening, and along with a lovely sunset, it was a perfect ending to a very pleasant couple of days, and a nice welcome to the New Year.
