The view of the 'yard' - what a dreadful word to describe this lovely garden - from the utility area under the veranda, or Daddy's quanquete, as Austin says!

And here's the said utility, washing machine and sink open to the elements, which of course have no detrimental effect on the pipework!

Round to the left is the granny flat which sits at the back of the garage

However, granny doesn't live there as the new nanny and partner are in residence.

A wonderful arrangement, especially when they turn up with BBQ food  

The pool is protected from the harmful sunshine rays by a sail like canopy

Round to the right from the utility is the car port, Austin's bikes and trucks are parked here too, usually lined up and in an orderly fashion, like his Uncle Ed did as a child.

Directly opposite side of the house is the lounge area. Tom is working here, last eve saw the BBQ set out on this table, note the Weber in the background.

The Weber is a portable BBQ and also an oven in which Tim and Dale are as likely to roast a Sunday, or any other day, joint of meat.

Mushroom risotto at a restaurant in the Casino building. A beautifully cool airc on! Dale used her linen napkin as a blanket
