December in the South - Busselton

Suzanne, Simon and I have a weekend away planned... Suze and I are coming down early to have some R&R first on the Thursday, then Simon will be joining us on Saturday afternoon.

The plan is as follows: 

Thursday night Busselton

Friday night Margaret River

Saturday night Augusta

Sunday home

These are the photos we took on arriving in Busselton. A stunning beach, glittery sand and not many people about!

An afternoon posey paddle

Look how clear the water is!

Crazy clear! It's not like Sarrfend (Southend) haha!

Ha... bit too much sun in the face causing the squinty look

A pic of our stuff. As you do.

DUCKS ON THE BEACH!

Apparently Busselton sunset is the best in WA... Glad we got to catch it!

Busselton Jetty at night. Gorgeous! 

Hehe... Our little bench picnic of fish and chips and GIN! We love our picnic bag! ($10 from an op shop! Who knew!)

Mmmmm shark and chips

Beyond delicious!

Having yet another large gin... but I was a bit cold (no longer a warm non-acclimatized Pom, eh!) hence the towel around my shoulders 

This is NOT how you decorate your house Mr Over-Zealous in Adelaide St, Busselton!

This is also questionable.

This is now the next day... I don't generally change my swimsuit more than once a day!

Yeehaw

Again a deserted beach, again stunning

Fiddling about with the settings on my camera

I LOVE THE STAR FILTER

A lot it would seem!

That's Suzanne out there - she has made me face my fears and get in the ocean above waist height! Though every single shadow (seaweed mostly) I pretty much crapped my pants and said "What's THAT?!" 

Have Yourself a Whovian Christmas

We started on the Christmas decorations a bit late... I am loving the Aussie version of "that time of year" as I normally cannot stand the festive season! Mainly because its too cold, but also because I DESPISE too much going on in the decorations department. My Grinch moment: If you decorate the outside of your house, please only use 2 colours. 3 MAX. (but 3 must be tasteful, or else.) It pains my eyes and makes my face hurt when I see all manner of flashy lights, inflatable Santas and the like. 

Anyway... onto our crazy little Aussie Christmas beginnings...

Vader with his hat on 

Milo too

However, I believe the prize of most funny expression whilst wearing a Santa hat goes to Jasmine!

We are cre-a-ting

Good grief

We feel rather chuffed with our handmade tree decorations! 

I did most of the decorating... Whovian OCD and all that. 

I made this!

(Screwdriver not in use.)

Muhhahaha Christmas Car-lek coming to get you!

But LOOK what we created! :D

CE-LE-BRATE!

Just because!

A few nights out

I'm clearly not going to stay in every weekend... So here are just a few from our nights out we've had

Down at "The Burrendah"

OF COURSE I'm going to do karaoke!

I'm either really getting into the song or I'm in pain...

My official "tourist" Perth shot. Apparently every British person comes down here and has their picture done according to Amy...!

Then there were cocktails

And dancing...

And more dancing

And cheesy poses! First official night out in Perth city

A large pre-drink before we head off for a Sunday Sesh at Mustang Bar

 

Selfie time!

Essential car shots

Myself and the luscious Amy :)

The Stingrays - playing awesome surfing music!

The band on after The Stingrays were just a bizarre change... Lounge music?! Also the guy in the brown jacket was my friend Robert McAfferty's double for sure!

No words needed...

I love lamp post apparently.

(Actually just love the stars!)

And here's my night out with the delectable Rebecca and scrumptious Levanah!
