Back to summer!

Apologies that this took so long. Had a Zip failure - now okay ... anyway a few months back and several degrees hotter than it is now we went to the beach ...


but before we got there we went to Dog Ridge Wines and we parked in the car park and walked towards the cellar door ...


 ... and when no one was left a shot was taken of all the cars ...

 ... then Winnie went into photogenic mode and wasn't jumping four feet into the air ... unusually ...


... then Alexander fainted and cuddled Lucy ...


... then the boys posed for a photograph in front of a car that leads a lonely life in a shed ... somewhere ...


... and we drove ... on roads ...


... and we got to the beach ... Maslins ... which has an unclad end and clad end ... we were at the clad end ... cladding is good ...


... and we set up camp ... happy campers ...


... and dogs frolicked ... and ate the sand ...


... and people milled ... about ...


... and went into the shark infested environs ...


... and sunbaked ... on cute designer towels ...


... and dogs ran ...


... and people milled about ...


... and doggies dug up the carefully built sandcastles ...


... and alexander dug to China ... again ....
The end.

Photos by Jeff ... text just miraculously appeared on the screen ... no author ... amazing ... The End ... Again ...

Robyn & Julie's Beach Picnic Shots

Pictures from the food, wine and dog picnic 2012. Sometimes known as the QCar Annual Beach Picnic.
Exhibit A: A dog. This is Beaurepair. Proof we could be a dog club.

Exhibit B: A dog. This is Lucinda Hillman-Minx. Proof we could be a dog club II.

All in

All in II

The wine component of the day - although we had previously been to Dog Ridge where a certain type of beverage was available.

At Dog Ridge. Alexander and Lucy bond. Alexander that means you need to rescue Lucy whenever she's near water now!

One of the winning sandcastles - Dickie Knee in a boat

Lucy goes in too deep. 

Time to rescue pup. 

Enjoying the waves

How many bears does it take to set a ground sheet? Sal looks on eagerly to see if any progress in said event has happened. 

Matador Bryan confuses beach for bull ring and no one's fooled by him, hiding his sword behind his towel.

Working boys. No, not working boys - boys doing work. Bloody English language, it always ends up innuendo!

"It's a rather cheeky little shiraz, Sal. Grown on the north facing slope off a fjord in Afghanistan. It's ripe with Persian spices, citrus notes and hints of newly discovered Higgs Bosun particles - I had it examined at CERN in Switzerland. It's relatively light on dark matter and should delight the most jaded palate." And they say we're not a food and wine club!
Yes, we all admired Torsten for saying it. "Freeballing is an art form."
Look carefully - evidence of food, wine and dogs. Have you seen a car yet?
Exhibit C: Another dog, Winniebago. Evidence that we are a food, wine, dog and occasionally a car club. ;-)

Beach Picnic 2012

Photos from my phone.

Malcolm's origami chair.
Stripper Chris. How's the pole dancing routine going?  

Miss Julie with Beau and Lucy

What happens to sand castles when the tide comes in

Golden sunset

That's my reading glasses behind my back

You're soaking in it . . . Alexander and Torsten

Arty shit

Not a box brownie

What's not to smile about? Robyn & Sal 
Winnie in non-jumping mode

Lucida Hillman Minx 
Later on the Aussiebums appeared

What's a Sunday without the Sunday Mail Bryan?

Alexander dug a hole in his undies. That should read: Alexander dug a hole. He was wearing undies at the time. Not Alexander dug a hole in his undies.
