meeting Mags

Mags examining the beer

I'm on a Fuji camera site and one of the women on there (Mags) who lives in the U.K noticed I came from Perth and as she has family here said we should meet up when she was here for christmas, which we duly did at Hillarys. We didn't stop talking for the whole time and before we knew it, it was time to part. It was uncanny how 2 couples who had never met before got on so well.  Here are some of the photo's.

My husband and myself

Ava Lou saw a praying mantis and wanted to pick it up, so Pop put it in her hand. That was fine until it decided to walk up her arm.....well did her facial expression change.

aaaaah help me grandma don't just stand there taking photo's.

PLEEEEASE HELP GRANDMA.

needless to say we removed the praying mantis straigh after this photo.  She is not so keen on them anymore.
