a bit of this and a bit of that….as I explore life, myself, the world….
WALHALLA, January 2022
Girls just wanna have fun
And that’s exactly what we Did have.
FUN,
lots of it.
After almost 2 years of not being allowed to meet,
we Finally met.
In the beautiful Gippsland,
exploring the Mountain Rivers Trail.
Friday’s trail….
The routine, so special. The horses, so compliant.
After almost 2 years of not being allowed to hug,
we Finally hugged.
And hugged and laughed and hugged again.
Hugs and smiles and laughs…..
and catching up with friends, four legged and two: new and ‘old’
And just like that,
we were in back in the groove,
or should I say saddle
Another glorious beginning…..to a wonderful trailthat led us up and downand along beautiful tracksin beautiful weather
Our home for the weekend
Was the interesting Walhalla Coach House
Built in the 70’s to replicate an old Swiss home,
it was quaint and quirky
and presented us with a list of do’s and don’ts :
Although if truth be told,
there were a whole lot more don’ts than do’s 😉🙄
Our Home from Home
The Coach House
Where we chatted, laughed, slept, drank and ate.
Socialising in the kitchen Socialising in the garden Getting ready to ‘socialise’ 😉Breakfast feast being preparedand consumed……
Did I mention we drank?
Did I mention we laughed?
Oh, and did I mention we relaxed?
As we watched the Walhalla Express pass below us.
We wandered Up…..
Wandering where……
Our leader was taking us.
Regardless, we followed……
Through forests to delightAlong roads to canter
With moments of contemplation
And moments….Of water joyParticularly for Helen and Basil
The “gals” played in the water too……
and down from aboveWe wandered down roads….….and around corners
As we explored the quaint Walhalla
What a history, what lifes were lived here
What about a repeat visit without horses to distract ….
Intricate walls….channelling the creekWith stunning coloursAmazing flowersin unexpected placesShapes…..whether plantsor doorsNature displaying its beauty Reckless in its abundanceThe history ….. the images…… the stories
There were tracks to explore
away from the heat….Things only the ‘they’ could seeAnd views we could all savour
And so, you see,
Girls just wanna have fun.
AND FUN WE SURE HAD.
whether at the Walhalla Pub or in the saddleThere was so much to smile about.
And so it is with grateful heart that I write this.
