About 5 minutes from my home, there is a pleasant place to walk in the bush. (Except when the ticks are looking for fresh blood.)
This old truck has been rusting away for quite a number of years now. I wonder who decided to abandon the old work horse out here?
I like the texture of the peeling paint and rust
And, nearby, echoing the colours of the old truck, a native shrub in bloom, an evergreen flowering grevillea, a member of the protea family.

My next post should be from a place far away, geographically and culturally.
Is your arrival imminent ? will be quite a shock to the system temperature wise,
I’ve been watching the forecast closely, it should be cool, but no rain on Saturday. Here’s hoping!
Looking forward to your posts from our “far away” place!!!
The batteries are charged …
Yvonnne…thanks for an interesting view of your area!! Counting the hours til your departure!!!

Hi, Linda! You’ll know that I am chuckling right now! Baci a te, bella
Looking forward to seeing posts from you know where!! …….. Very envious!
Hi, Jo. I realise I’m a lucky, lucky person.
Buon Viaggio Cara! I can’t wait until you are back in your “happy place”!
Grazie, SusieQ. Nor can I …
Buon viaggio, Yvonne!
Thanks, Brian. Are you enjoying those strawberries?
Buon Viaggio!
With our time difference you are probably already on your way.

Nope, it’s tomorrow that I leave, Michelle. I do wish it was today.
Yes, and I wish I was leaving tomorrow too but I have 289 days. But it is going fast!
And tomorrow for me is still only Thursday.
Ciao Yvonne, my father has a garage but I think he can’t do anything for your truck
Protea is our favourite flower because it reminds us our honeymoon in South-Africa…
We look forward to see you in Venice!!!
Ciao, Daniela. Maybe I can ask your father for a quote on repairs, anyhow?
Ci vediamo presto.
I too love the colours & textures on the old truck – they remind me of a painting we once considered buying! – but I wouldn’t have spotted them on my own. You are so observant!
Buon viaggio & we are also looking forward very much to seeing you here!
Grazie, Caroline. I look forward to finally meeting you and Phil, it’s been a long time since I first heard about you. I wonder if I’ll sleep tonight?
Hi Yvonne, wow, tomorrow, that came around fast – probably not for you though!
For whatever reason I haven’t been getting your blog updates via email so I only just saw that you are leaving tomorrow.
Have a fabulous time, I’m so jealous! Stay safe and have heaps of fun.

Hi, Melissa. I’ll do everything you’ve advised, promise!
Oh, duh, just realised I forgot to tick the notification boxes!
