Devil's Peak with Russell and Brandon

At last I can say I've climbed to the top of Devil's Peak.  An awesome hike with some challenging bits on a sweltering day with sublime views along the way. The highlight was Brandon taking out a litre of frozen orange and mango juice at the top. Total bliss!!

Market with Russell, Rob & Dawn, Brandon and Warren

 It was wonderful to meet Rob and Dawn (Glen's parents).  I've heard lots of about them from Russell.  What a super couple. The highlight of the evening, apart from the company, was the peanut butter smoothie.

New Year's day swim at Silvermine with the Hurds and Russell

A very hot day, perfect for a refreshing swim at Silvermine.  A great way to start the year.
