I have finally uploaded some of the photos that we took in Bright. That was my second trip down, Chris and I enjoyed ourselves very much as usual! It was good to catch up with Uncle Chris and Aunty Annie.

Chris and I are fortunate that our rented home has a large veggie patch. With the help of Chris’ dad, we have few veggie plants planted at the beginning of this year. We have tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchinis, squash, rhubarbs, and bok choy. Other than the veggie patch, we also have lemon tree, fig tree and grape vines at the backyard. The lemon tree is very useful as I often harvest them so I can have coke with lemon, or made sangria, or seasoning seafood… The fig tree is huge and almost take over the whole backyard! I haven’t really had fresh figs before and I had my first experience early this week. They were so refreshingly sweet… I’m planning to learn to cook something delicious with the ripe figs and perhaps dry some for Chinese soup!
Chris has been working hard around the veggie garden. I must say that he did a very good job, as he wakes up early to water the garden and do the same thing when the sun sets. I have tried to help to water the garden in the afternoon few times, and this is the happiest time for the mosquito coz they will have a feast – me! I had seven mosquito bites one time on both of my calves within a 5 minutes watering.
We have plenty of vegetables from our veggie garden, we have been giving them away because we have too much! Although I reckon maintaining a veggie garden can be quite costly as we have to purchase fertilisers and items to killed the bugs. However, the experience is priceless – seeing the veggie grow big slowly and the tomatoes turn red, it can fulfils your boring working day.

Chris and I will drive to Bright to have a little holiday.
We both took this Friday and next Monday off, so we will have 4 days and 4 nights there in Bright VIC. Chris’ uncle and aunt own a bed and breakfast there so our main reason going there is to visit them. But also Bright is a beautiful relaxing town. The last time we went there we enjoyed ourselves very much.
Hopefully we will do some wine tasting, camping or having picnic at Mt Buffalo… or simply do nothing for few days, just enjoying each other company.
It is always good to have something to look forward to…
