Last week JoJo and I took the drive up with Mr Armchair to see Canberra's Floriade
but secretly the real reason JoJo loves this event is that the Australia Fair Street Organ is there
along with the Ferris Wheel
Front of the Organ
and back...JoJo with Rick the Gentleman who travels with this marvelous piece and me
JoJo's choice of music ~Phantom of the Opera~
and I couldn't help thinking of my Brother when I saw these
He just loved Al Johnson while growing up
JoJo was thrilled when Rick gave her his postcard
Thanks so much Rick......we'll be back again next year......but you know that don't you
Next was the ferris wheel ride
The view looking down on part of Floriade
JoJo had to have a clown game
Gorgeous tulips
For last year's trip to Floriade and more pics click here
By then it was time for a coffee
Check out these light fittings in the tent
One of the stalls had a vast array of felt goods
Lovely 'stick ladies'
We caught the freebie bus back into town......this bus reminded me of a London Bus with its top deck
One of the scenes going back into town
A beautiful floral display in the Canberra Centre
On the way home we called into my Daughter's for dinner before driving back home again
Here I am with my little Grand daughter Lidija......she just loves cuddles......and to sing songs
We thoroughly enjoyed our lovely day out and look forward to next year's Floriade
