 I had the opportunity to accompany dad to a special luncheon at Woolands Golf Club. The celebration was the start of the 2nd century for Woolands (sounds like an excuse for a fund raiser!).
They gave out medallions to the long serving members. As you can see (circled) dad got his medallion for 40+ years as member of Woodlands. Ern has been a member there for 47 years, staring when he was 45. He has a little yet to go with the longest serving member, who was at the luncheon, now up to 74 years.

 We have never been to the Grampians but are now converted. What a spectacular place. The rock material that composes the high peaks is sandstone which was laid down from rivers during the Devonian period 380 million years ago. This sediment slowly accumulated to a depth of 7 km; this was later raised and tilted for its present form.
Judi Lawler is in France and Italy for a month. One of her friends is walking the whole pilgrim route from Holland to the Spanish coast past Santiago on the west coast – 4 months constant walking! Jude is joining her for a week at Perigueux (where the Tour de France finished in the south of France before flying to Paris). They do between 20 – 30 k per day, staying at gits or refuges (there are lots along the pilgrim trails). Jude then flies to Geneva, trains to Mount Blanc and joins 7 other girlfriends for a 10 day walk around Mt Blanc (It’s called “the Walk of Mount Blanc”). Then train to the Cinque Terre in Italy, and they all walk that too!
