Home to the Sun

Mykela & Kirra with their very first snowman
Really sad, just waved goodbye to our dear friends from Perth, Australia. They have been here since the beginning of December and Mykela & Kirra were delighted when it snowed....they had never seen snow before! Their snowman sported a very attractive 'Freemantle Footbal Club' scarf! However I think, like all of us, they were glad when it had gone....enough was enough !!! It really curtailed their sight-seeing trips. It was great to have them here though and I hope it won't be too long before we see tem all again. Milly will really miss them, they made such a fuss of her.

Fortunately, none of the animals came to any harm during the freezing weather but it made a lot more work for Alan, trying to keep them with a constant water supply. The only fatalities we had were one fish and two frogs who perished in the pond.
