Hervey Bay Queensland
Hi everyone! I am back from my holiday to Hervey Bay Queensland, the weather wasnt very kind to us it was very cold and windy and I have come home with an ear and viral chest infection. The Main reason for this Holiday was Donna's life long friend Nikki's 40th birthday. Which gave me a chance to catch up withNikki and her parents Brian & Carol, and the rest of the family who I had not seen for a few years. Now a trip to Queensland would not be complete with out catching up with Peter (Holtieshouse), a friend of 50 plus years, came up from Gympie to spend the day with us . Peter took me to Akarra tea gardens, had a lovely walk through the Wetlands and garden before lunch. After a nice lunch and chat,it was then off to Nikki's for a BBQ get together where Peter also caught up with the family after many years .See Peters Blog
Now to end with a few photo's. and as soon as i feel a little better I will get around to visiting all your blogs so take care. Jeanette

Welcome home Jan, its a pity the weather wasn't kinder to you for your trip, but at least we managed to catch up with lots of old friends.
Welcome back, Jeanette. Shame the weather wasn't particularly kind to you, but it was much the same (only probably colder) here.
Your photos are wonderful, and it must have been great catching up with loved ones.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Meow
Welcome back, Jen. Pity the weather was so cold, but it's the first cold winter we've had for years, so we're hoping we'll get a proper Wet this year to help fill the dams.
Looks like you had a lovely time with your friends, though. (I keep seeing photos of Peter everywhere...lol!)
Hi Jan ~~ Glad to hear you are home safely and had a good time in spite
of the cold weather. I hope Donna and her family also enjoyed the holiday.
Sorry you aren't feeling too well and
hope that soon clears up. Did you get some anti-biotics? for the ear
infection? I am having fun posting pictures lately and it seems to be a popular move. Take great care, dear Jan, Love, Merle.
Welcome back. The pictures are super. Glad you had a good time. sorry about the weather. Get better soon.
Looks like a grand, fun time@

Hi Jan,

Lovely piccies, Jeanette! Glad to see you back, and hope you are feeling much healthier soon.
the sunset appears as an arm of fire.... gorgeous
and jealous of your fun trip. Seeing family and friends is the best.
What a shame you're feeling ill; hope you feel better soon. Wonderful photos especially the sunset. Had to smile at the Church Notice too :o)

Too bad the weather wasn't better, but you got some great photos. I especially love that sunset :)
Hope you're soon feeling better!
hugs!
Lovely pics of your holiday! Love that sunset photo.
Thankyou for your anniversary wishes for us!
Each time (or at least very often) I come to your blog, you are coming back from somewhere, lol ! I liked the church sign it made me laugh and the cute kangaroos ! Apparently you had a very good time !
Nice to have you back Jeanette. I'm sorry to hear about the ear and chest infection. I really hope that you'll get well soon.
Thanks for sharing these lovely photos. It's great to see the wonderful people you've been with during your vacation.
Take care and hope you'll recover soon.
Hi again Jan ~~ Thanks for your comments - glad you like the family photos and Bec goes home tomorrow, so it will be back to just me.
Glad you are feeling slightly better, but hope each day helps a bit more
and you will soon be A 1 again. Take great care, Love, Merle.
Awww, so sorry you came home sick. You just commented that I can whine to you, any time. Well, you can whine to me too!
Your whine would be about this ding-dang cold and infection. Mine is about my back hurting again and it cutting back on my computer chair time. We can whine beautifully, together!!!
Great pics though!!!

Hi Jan -- I should have checked on you the day you gave me a 'heads up.' I would have wished you a 'get well soon' wish or two then.
I hope you are all better now, it sounded like you had a wonderful time on the holiday.
