Shangri-la.



Two of my grandsons, George and Finn, playing new year's day Cricket on Keppel Island Queensland Oz.

You can see why they live over there, can't you!

Thanks to Tenpin for the beautiful photo.

30 degrees here today.

Helsie said...

You really should visit ....but Christmas time is VERY HOT but then you do like Summer and the heat. I'm wishing I could be where you are !

Cro Magnon said...

I could cope with that, especially if I was on that beach (above).

Cro Magnon said...

It's quite cold here, -1 C this morning.

Jo said...

It's hot at Christmas time here in South Africa as well. I like the B&W image of your sporty grandsons. Happy New Year Cro and Lady M.

Cro Magnon said...

It's a great photo, it makes me want to be out there too!

Maria said...

I would love to be there...
-5 here now; grass, parked cars and roof tops are white!
The word shangri-la reminds me of a film, "Lost Horizon"
Greetings Maria x

Susan Heather said...

Surely someone would look after Bok for you if you go with Lady M. this year.

Cro Magnon said...

I can't face 24 hours in a plane; no way! I'm waiting for that long over-due super sonic 5 hour flight.

Cro Magnon said...

Just -1 C here, but I haven't been out yet. The hat in my picture is getting good use!

Coppa's girl said...

You could break your journey, Cro. Singapore is a great stopover. Years ago the journey was done in three eight-hour hops.

Wonderful photo of life downunder. I really prefer winter but at the moment just the sight of those two on the beach warms my bones

Coppa's girl said...

It looks like Paradise, indeed, Cro. - Who would really want to come back to Europe when they have that on their doorstep, and guaranteed year-round sunshine?
It's probably about 10ÂșC here, but I haven't yet been out to check. It's just getting light, and looking at the sky, it's overcast too.

Cro Magnon said...

And no-one else there too! Wonderful.

Cro Magnon said...

I've just returned from my semi-light walk, and I don't think it was even -1 C. Cool but pleasant.

Sue said...

Looks wonderful but I can SO understand you not wanting to do that flight, even with a stopover. (Buddy is currently camping in the real outback,looks scary, he'd rather be at the beach.)

Jacqueline @ HOME said...

I don't know how the boys managed to play amongst all those crowds !!!! Haha !! A lovely life for them all.
..... although, for me, I love the crisp, frosty days around Christmas .... we went to Florida for Christmas once and it just wasn't the same !!!! XXXX

Cro Magnon said...

I've been on a 6 hour flight, and nearly went crazy. I almost 'panicked'. No, I stay home and look after the animals.

Cro Magnon said...

I haven't minded our recent winters at all. They've been quite mild with no snow; just how I like them.

New World said...

You could get a photo like that on Holkham Beach in North Norfolk today but of course it would be something like minus 3 degrees.

Cro Magnon said...

And they might be wearing red flannel thermals.

The Weaver of Grass said...

Indeed I can see - it looks lovely Cro. The only thing is that our freezing winters do give us comparison on the rare hot days we have.

Jennifer said...

What a nice photo. You should print and frame it.

Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybe said...

Have you ever visited them there? I looks like a lovely vacation spot.

Cro Magnon said...

Yes, I'd miss the seasons, but they do have a bit of everything.

Cro Magnon said...

It's a classic. I might well do that!

Cro Magnon said...

No, but my wife goes quite often. I can't face the journey.

Graham Edwards said...

Having lived a decade of summers in New Zealand I can well understand!

libby said...

What a wonderful life they have and what a smashing photo...printed and framed would be a good idea.

gz said...

such skies!!

Shrimpton and Perfect said...

I think black and white photography is always more evocative. Great pic.

Vancouver is a lovely city - a week there is delightful and a week in Hawaii. Problem sorted.
