It's been too long!

It seems like such a long time since I posted on my blog. Sorry to those who check in regularly to check out what we' ve all been up to.
Now, where to start?? Well, things have settled down again at work. I still hate walking in those doors every day though.
Joe and I have some exciting options that we're looking at at the moment - big changes actually. We are both ready for a real change of direction, me especially. I don't want to say too much yet, just in case I jinx things, but I promise to keep you posted.

I have finished my web page design short course. Would you believe, the very last class was brilliant!! It was jammed packed with great information, it was fast paced with useful content - the way it should have been from week 1. My web page is coming along and I feel as though I can nut it out on my own from here on end - not that much work is being done on that either right at the moment - I know, I've been so slack.

Joe and I took a Sunday drive to Redcliffe a couple of weeks ago. I've been wanting to go there ever since I found out that they have a pier and was just waiting for a sunny day to make the trip. I love the atmosphere of coastal towns and we were so blessed with beautiful weather on the day. I took my good camera with the single intent of getting some photos of the jetty. Once we got into Redcliffe, we took the 'tourist road' and were certainly not disappointed with the beautiful scenic views of Morton Bay on our drive down the winding coastal road to the gorgeous jetty. Because the weather was so good, it was very busy, it took ages to find a car park and ended up having to park in one of the side streets at the back of the main strip, then walk back up.
We walked down to the beach first, then along the jetty to the end where I took a series of photos of the stone wall with the cutest boats tied up to it. When I got home, I stitched them all together which then became the inspiration for the layout I did of our magnificent day trip.
I'm going to see if I can get this layout printed onto a canvas, just because I love it so much.

The Redcliffe Jetty


The end of the jetty.


There was even a baptism being held at the waters edge. What a day!!
