The Forestry Forum

Part revue, part birthday.

So yesterday  Lil celebrated 50 years. No big party planned, but we went out for dinner at one of the better local eateries. It's a unique location up in the National Park, only about 10 miles from town, but as "town" isn't on the main tourist maps. it's a bit niche.

Did I mention there was a heavy rain warning for the Mt...

Some confusion about the booking, but it got sorted.

Being up the Mt, we were basically "In the Clouds", most of the drive. The Mt part is pretty slow and winding, but like fog.

And we did get some stuff set up for Lil when she got home from work. But she did say the highlight was all the Kindy kids wishing her happy birthday, all day  ffcheesy

Also seems our hosts up there are retiring in 3 weeks. Hopefully they can find some new managers that are as good.

Congrats to the missus on the anniversary of her 29th birthday! May she have many more! Thanks for sharing.

Happy Birthday LIL!!
