Shortly, we’re going on a bus trip with other members of our over-55s lifestyle village. We thought we had missed out on the trip but someone has cancelled so we’ll be able to go.
On our first trip with the group some weeks ago, Vince took his camera and put up some candid shots of the folks at the lunch. He put them up on the village’s FB site and got a lot of lovely comments. He has since been asked to take his camera to another social function and is just about the resident photographer now.
We’re going to York which is one of Western Australia’s oldest established towns. We’ll have morning tea there and a chance to do some shopping then we move on to White Gum farm for lunch. We have been to the farm before taking photos at an endurance ride.
The photo was taken a few years ago and is of a swinging bridge which is near the centre of the town.

Did you and Vince go to the middle of the bridge and make it swing back and forth? I bet a lot of people would love that. (There is a swinging bridge about an hour from our house. It seems like every time we go there someone starts making the bridge swing to hear the other people yell about it. )

Unfortunately we just drove past it this time but we've walked across it before. Vince isn't very keen on such things so sometimes I jump up and down a bit just to hear him yell.
This is a scarier bridge at Carrick A Rede in Northern Ireland.

Lovely scenery in the photo. My mom took a lot of those types of trips to and had fun. I know you'll enjoy yourselves with your new friends there.

People like to see the photos. It surprises me really as I don't worry about photos. I like photos of where we're been but I never really want to be in them. One couple has sent their photo to rellies in the UK so that's nice.

We did have a very pleasant day thanks. They organise these from time to time but they fill up quickly. Luckily there was a cancellation and we were able to go.
