I have been struggling with my time a little of late hence no posts for a while.
We had a lovely weekend away last weekend and Mel was up to his old tricks.
We went to Middleton, Sean was in a surf comp the weather wasn't great but it was a lovely weekend.
We went over to Hindmarsh Island to the Mouth of the Murray which due to limited water flow is slowly closing.
It was very windy and Mel had trouble holding onto the sign.
Enter able bodied assistant aka Tony who mind you is looking a little like a stalker I managed to get this shot.
We came across these Cape Baron geese in a paddock.
Mel nearly had a nasty surprise while watching them.
I was really saddened to see the river like this.
Normally the water would cover these pylons.
In the background you can see how low the water level is.
Mel as always was very keen to slip in here for a look.
When I said NO he went off and sulked at the train station saying he was going to run away on the train.
We then went to Victor Harbour and I offered him the chance to leave on the cockle train.
After long consideration he compromised with just having a chat to the driver
OH
I had better go and check I haven't seen him since this photo!!!!!!!!

Glad to see Mel out and about. He's looking well and as cheeky as usual. Nice of him to take you along.
Cheers!
Nice to see Mel on an Outing even though he did play up a bit...Looked like a Nice day all round...pity about the water levels..a bit sad.!!
I have been wondering what Mel has been up too! Lovely pictures.
Really funny!
I was wondering where Mel was .....I think Mel needs a outing cap to wear
That Mel sure can be rascally ... but I'm glad he comes around in the end!
It IS sad to see the river so low.
Hi Leanne! Gosh Mel has been busy! Middleton is one of my favourite places, so I am very jealous! I love Goolwa and Hindmarsh Island too. We used to stay there when the kids were little at Narnu Farm. (Before the bridge) The kids always had such a fantastic time at Narnu Farm!
it is really sad to see what's happening and the saddest thing is that no one really cares. no one is prepared to do anything because of economic/political reasons. silly really - i mean what are we leaving for our children?
enough of the sad though - looks like mel had a wonderful time :)

Glad to see a post by you... and Mel... he is just the same...full with a lot of fun...:o)
Love your photos!!!
Hi Leanne thanks for cheering up my day. you take such wonderful photos. good to see mel back. we have friends that live at goolwa. havent been there as yet. I love reading your posts thanks again
What fun photos - especially the one of Mel with the train driver! Were you blushing when you asked him to pose with a green knitted monkey????
You're back! Lovely photos. Looks like you had a nice vacation. We're pretty parched for rain in Texas much of the time too, though not as bad as most of Australia. And it's supposed to rain tomorrow - yippee!! I hope you get some where it will do some good.
Happy stitching,
Susan

Great pictures, thanks for sharing. We were going through a drought in SC for the last couple of years but I think we are caught up now with all the rains we have been having. Hope you get your fair share of rain soon!
What absolutely fun pictures. Mel is so photogenic.
I love the Mel Saga's and share them with my daughter. She loves that little green monkey, and thinks he is a riot! Hoping some rain comes your way soon!
how wonderful it is too have a weekend away...
I hope he didn't run away on the lovely old train or we'll have no more Mel adventures to look forward to :-)

Nice trip, you go!!
We had a day trip to Goolwa on Sunday and were just gobsmacked at the lack of water-such a shame. Glad you had a great time and Mel obviously enjoyed himself again:)
Great pictures for a wonderful weekend!
Congrats for your new header!
Kisses to Mel!:)
Grazia

Beautiful photos again, Leanne,
So Mel is a naughty, little rascal again, but it
looks like you all had a wonderful week-end anyway!
Take care!
I hope Mel is safely back in the bosom of his family!
It is sad to see the river so low.
I enjoy looking at your posts. It is a mini vacation for me. THANKS!!
