Taking a look back at my November. Another month gone past in a flash and Christmas is now just a few weeks away. Here are some of my memories of November.
We started off the month with a little trip to Dunsborough which I’ve already posted about.
“Pull up a Seat“
In the middle of November we had a day’s outing to a winery in the Chittering Valley to an event called “A Taste of Chittering” held at Nesci Winery with some good friends. The only thing that spoiled a lovely day was the masses of flies! We hardly dared open out mouths.


Don’t these two lovely ladies look cute as gumnuts. They are so talented walking around all afternoon like that.
🍷 We made some time for some tasting after lunch 🍷
The fourth Thursday of every month is when we hold our Bookclub meeting. The November bookclub is the last of the year and our Christmas get together. This year we gathered at a house overlooking the ocean. We had a fabulous lunch and Mango Daquiries with a great discussion of the book.

🌺 My November Garden 🌺
Now the Summer has finally arrived I love to sit out for my happy hour 🍹 and listen to the different birds that congregate in my neighbour’s tree. From Kookaburras to Rainbow Lorikeets, Willy Wagtails and Parrots, not all at once of course. My jasmine is out and also the gardenias are in full bloom and the garden smells divine.
I’m now looking forward to a few parties in the coming weeks and tomorrow the tree 🎄 goes up with some help from my little elf.
How was your November?
November looks so bright and cheery! A great lead in to your summer,.

A lovely review of the month Alison. Hope you e started December with an Advent calendar. I buy a Lindt one for each of us as I love their chocolate balls. Enjoy some warm summer evenings in your garden!

Thanks Marion, they seem to have all disappeared from the shelves. The only one I found today was a vegan one, no wheat dairy or sugar 😫 I can’t imagine what it will taste like

No, it doesn’t sound very appetising perhaps just treat yourself to some good quality chocolate instead to nibble in the evenings.

Definitely, it is for my granddaughter who’s only 14 months so perhaps she won’t mind!
