We have just returned from a few days on the Murray River. But not without a sock to knit! I have finished the blue ones and am wearing them in this picture and I am now knitting a red pair.

We had a lunch cruise on a lovely, old, restored paddle steamer called the "Emmylou" which is powered by an enormous engine fuelled by red gum logs from the local forests.

It is a quiet spell and there was only a handful of people riding each of the paddle steamers up and down the river. As you can see the weather was bright but cool, until the last day when all of a sudden it turned into winter. We are now back home with the heating on!

I cant get blogger to load more pics so will try again later .
