Unexpected visits

This has been a week that included a visit to a property that has such a beautiful garden that has grown in six years to be full of healthy plants.
During the week I had the pleasure of watching my son in a bit part in a  musical, a speaking part in amongst the singing parts. He was surprisingly serious in his role, and made sure that he did not look at mum and dad in the front row seat. We enjoyed the musical and were amazed at the quality of the production. It is an amateur theatre group, but you would say that they had a production that would be up to the standard of some professional groups.
While there friends invited us to a family barbecue that was happening on Sunday to celebrate their son's marriage. He had married in Japan, and some had not been able to travel there. We went to a place we had never been before, and the joy of having had rain recently meant that the surrounding country was still green. Very beautiful spot just outside Ballarat, I think with five acres of land, and with the garden I spoke of.
One of the other joys was seeing sheep in the paddock beside the home. Shorn sheep, with a few lambs interspersed. I did not go on the walk to see the cows, but stayed for the wedding photos. They were beautiful. What a wonderful experience the family had.
My reading is not happening, I am distracting myself from the books I need to read. Must get to and do some reading.
