Don't come in here

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 9h

A few days ago, we went to a nursery to get vegetable seedlings. At the entrance to the 'Staff Only' section, we came across an amusing sign in the nursery and I asked Vince to take a photo of it. We’ve seen a lot of amusing...

A fence from years ago

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 30 Apr

In the foreground of the photo, you can see a fence such as the old settlers would have made. It’s on the old farm where I grew up. My cousin owns it now. She and her husband are into all things old and natural and have a very...

Hopefully a 'before' photo

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 29 Apr

The photo shows an area at my niece’s where I intend to plant some vegetable seedlings. Hopefully, at the end of our stay here I’ll be able to show you an ‘after’ photo. There is shade-cloth over the area to keep the fierce...

It's not about the sheep

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 29 Apr

You might wonder why I’ve put up this photo but just before I took it I couldn’t help noticing all their white legs then the bodies above it. We drove to our niece’s house yesterday but I forgot my phone and the cord for my...

A new poster for the clubhouse

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Apr

Our clubhouse has a notice-board which was inside the building but, unless you had your entry card with you, you couldn’t access it. It’s now been moved under the entryway on the outside which has left a big space on the inner...

Sharing my dinner

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Apr

Our third campsite on our time away was in the Dryandra Forest. There was some houses there that accommodated forestry workers. There are also several other campsites, one of which we stayed at in our motor-home. Vince’s brother...

The collapse of a bridge

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Apr

The photo shows a bridge which has collapsed. It is Pumphrey’s Bridge in Western Australia and wasn’t very far from the farm where I grew up. You can see the guide posts on the collapsed part. There is a much stronger bridge over...

A very useful jam tree

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Apr

I took this photo on the side of the road on our recent short holiday. The globule that you can see has oozed from a jam tree (Acacia acuminata). It’s one of the wattle tree variety but I found on researching it that it is/was an...

Off house-sitting tomorrow

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Apr

Tomorrow we leave to house-sit for our niece who is going overseas with her husband and four sons. It’s about 30 minutes away in a northern suburb so it won’t be hard to come home if we need something. We’ll be back here next week...

The very old is protecting the new

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Apr

These solar panels provide power for a pump which pumps water from a well to sheep troughs. I’ve written about the well previously. What intrigues me here is that the stand of the solar panel has a few attachments that need...

Many a meal was cooked on this stove

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Apr

I grew up on a farm in a house that was mostly built by my father. In the mid-1960s, a new house was built which is still lived in today. We visited the old farm recently and I took this photo of the kitchen chimney which is...

An innovative use for a hollow log

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 25 Apr

My cousin’s garden on the old family farm is full of quirky bits and pieces. The photo isn’t very clear but supported on two chains is a large, hollowed-out tree trunk. My father would have carved out the hollow to make a pig...

A vist to our old well

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Apr

The photo shows a well on the farm where I grew up. It’s rarely been anything but full for over 100 years. You might be able to make out the stonework lining the well which has stood the test of time really well. Vince’s brother...

An emu in the garden

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Apr

I guess you could call this emu ‘folk art’. The owner of our old family farm made it from barbed wire and bits and pieces of machinery. It’s very well done and to scale. The barbed wire is ideal for the plumage and he’s even...

Chairs and cobwebs

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 24 Apr

The bush poetry and music session in Dinninup, Western Australia, didn’t last very long but later in the afternoon, everyone went down to the town hall and several enjoyed dancing to a couple of square dance numbers. They mostly...

Another new word for me

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Apr

Our first night away we stayed in a small country town. They run quite a big agricultural show there but there are no shops. I took this photo of the shopfront of the old store. It was difficult to make out the wording across the...

Bush poetry and music

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 23 Apr

We’ve returned from our three nights away and will be sleeping in our own bed again tonight. The first night we drove our motor-home to Dinninup which is a very small town in the south-west of Western Australia. My brother-in-law...

Behave yourselves while I'm away

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Apr

There was a notice on the local Facebook group that two young lads were offering a service cleaning wheelie bins. They use a pressure hose so tap into the householder’s power and water. Then today, I read in a news feed that a...

No photos in the church, said the Dean

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 19 Apr

I hope I haven’t written about this before. I can’t find a reference to it. I always admire my husband for his ability to think quickly and get himself out of many tricky situations. Some years ago, he was asked to take...

Before I say 'yes', I want to know who else will be there

Judy Evans @JudyEv (351926) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Apr

We had lunch with Vince’s god-daughter a few weeks ago. She has three children aged from 14 to 19. While she was away, the older daughter was going to have some girlfriends around. When we made some comments about parties getting...
