This week Debbie has set the one word Sunday challenge as rural. As it coincided with Father’s Day I thought I would combine the two. It’s been a while since I saw both my parents, coming up to a year. I was lucky enough to have them both with me for almost five months last year, because of Covid they were stuck here for much longer than planned.

I asked them to artfully arrange themselves on some hay bales at a winery we visited

Happy Fathers day Alison !
Oh I like that hay bale pose…..I bet you were laughing as you took that one!
I had them posing all over the place and telling them how to look as well! They look like models for a senior’s magazine
Lovely!
Great pictures – your parents look like a lot of fun!
They loved their trips to Australia. Sadly they are now too old to make that long trip, but we had some great times with them
Your parents look like they were having fun!
It’s been 26 months since I last saw my parents and sisters… Looking forward to travelling next year.
That’s a long time ..yes hopefully next year.
Happy Father’s Day to such a great man! I love the pictures of your parents-they look like such a beautiful example of marriage 🙂
Thanks Meg. They’ve been married over 65 years they must be doing something right.
Wow, to be so happily married for 65 years is truly a beautiful thing
Lovely photos! I hope you get to see your parents again soon.
Thanks Sarah, maybe next year some time. In the meantime just have to Skype them and urge them to remain healthy and take care.
Nice on, Alison. Such great memories to look back on. How would we manage without our photographs?
I know it’s true. The challenges bring up photos that I’ve otherwise forgotten about.
Oh nice looking couple and your parents still look young and healthy! Happy Father’s day to the fathers in your life. I don’t know why Australia celebrates in September…so do you celebrate it with the rest of the world?
Thanks Teresa. Yes very lucky that they are still healthy. We don’t really celebrate it as such anymore, we went out one time and swore never to do it again, everywhere so packed and we waited ages for food.
We celebrate ours in September…but usually a day before to avoid the crowd!
Lovely photos, your Dad looks like he enjoys himself.
Thanks Jonno, he still thinks he’s a young boy, will be 90 in October
precious moments, Alison! 🙂
Thanks 🙂
Nice captures Ali!
Thanks 😊
Your parents look like a lot of fun.
Thanks Bernadette, yes they’re very young at heart. I haven’t seen them for a year because of Covid and hoped to be in the UK to celebrate my dad’s 9Oth, maybe next year 🤔
Covid is so cruel to families.
