Five on Friday

Last time I posted I was going to be posting a Five on Friday but, I have missed a week. I came unstuck this week. A doozy of a migraine has had me keeping a low profile for a good few days. I'm not sure where it came from but I have an inkling that I may have been stressing a little too much about something and my mind needed a rest.

So here I am on Friday linking up with Amy and posting five pictures from this week.

One

A simple morning tea on Sunday. My parents visited and for a change, I didn't go over the top with baking. Just a simple date slice which was rather delicious. 

 Two
Big sky country it's called and it really is. Up on the tablelands and totally lovely. Quite a lot drier than home and not much feed in the paddocks but beautiful nonetheless.

 Three
Thunderbolt's Rock near Uralla. Right in the middle of nowhere and a nice place to stop and even do a little geocaching if you are into that.

 Four.
I love to walk, hike, stroll whatever. As long as it is outside and there is something pleasant to look at. I like rotundas and statues and plants and little footbridges too. I'm really looking forward to walking in the UK.

Five.
Further to my love of being in nature, I like fungi. In my working life I dealt with clinical mycology but it is not of much use to me now to know all about that. I am still very much a scientist at heart and like to look at the natural world from that point of view as well as just enjoying the beauty and wonder.

Out and About

It isn't the prettiest park around but you can't go past  a park called "Anniversary Park" when it is your anniversary. Right? This was at the tail end of a bit of a tiring day hence the less than enthusiastic grins.

The four of us spent a lovely day around Scone and Muswellbrook. A little bit of op-shopping (I bought some wonderful cards), bushwalking and having a leisurely lunch out.

I'm glad we did this walk in winter because it would be hard work in the heat of summer. The trip back down the hill is a cinch though.

More friendly wildlife. LOts of birds, kangaroos and wallabies on this walk and the odd cow too.

Now I'm going to stay at home for days and days.
