They say Queensland is beautiful one day and perfect the next. Well yesterday it was awful but today it is perfect once more, so off we went together for a walk and we found the first flowering Queensland Silver Wattle tree looking absolutely glorious - this photo is for you Janet Pollard.
Then we headed to some neighbourhoods where I loved the colour schemes for all their quirkiness. The colour of this house, the beautiful hanging flowers, with a matching car parked in the drive.
And on the stretch home we came across a rather unusual walker and her partner. I had seen her before but this time I stopped and asked her if walking backwards was deliberate. "Yes" she said. She walks backwards every day for one kilometre, with her loving and patient partner by her side. She has done this for over 20 years and is absolutely certain that this is good for her back and her thighs and her general slim demeanour. Well she certainly looked trim and sprightly! So full marks to her but great big star for her partner who walks forward keeping her safe and on the path while she walks backwards!Now that is devotion is it not?
