THE BEST WEEKEND

The family from Melbourne came to visit and family in Brisbane came too except for son in law Bernie who is filming in Malaya at the moment in a show called 'Survivor'. Carol and David came to visit David's parents and siblings and us too.
We had a great weekend. We had a special lunch on Sunday. A Swiss Raclette where you grill cheese on potatoes on a table grill. We added all sorts of food on top of the grill. It was fun and delicious.
After lunch we all went for a walk in the forest which is right next to our village. Silly blogger put all the photos in reverse order.

    What a nice family get together, Diane, and those grilled items looked like a great meal where everyone got to participate. Your grandsons are so grown up🙂

    I think it is great that the entire family can drive or fly up to Brisbane to spend a weekend of fun. The only advantage of all living in one city is that you can dinners or picnics every weekend, if you wanted.

    What a lovely weekend to have everyone together. Raclette looks like such a fun way to share a meal because everyone gets to make their plate just how they like it. The forest walk afterwards must have been the perfect way to spend the afternoon too. I smiled reading about Banjo and Fox, it's amazing how quickly children grow up, especially hearing that Fox is already learning to drive and working after school.

    It's so nice to live right next to a forest and how great that Bill can enjoy it too in his scooter. Your raclette lunch sounds delicious. If I ever got to Switzerland I'd love to have raclette there.

    Your Grands are sure getting tall and grown up. Its fun to be able to have "real" conversations" together.
    Glad you could have such a fun family time. The grilled lunch looks delicious and its making me hungry... (:0)
    The area for your walk is so nice that it accommodates disabilities too. Its a lovely path and scenery.

    What a special time with your family. "Blogger' is very annoying when it decides to reverse the order..
