Bobbie was keen to get the "four generations photo" from her visit this time - one of the biggest challenges of all for the amateur photographer. This afternoon was my last opportunity before she leaves next weekend. We had a slightly wary but satisfying yum cha lunch at Nobel Palace to celebrate Jody's birthday (next week). Wary because we booked in late (2.00pm) and had to keep our eyes and ears open the whole time to make sure we were served our various yums and chas before the whole session was wrapped up by 3.00pm.
By the time we got home for a more leisurely coffee and slice of pavlova and fruits in syrup Ella was ready for her big feed and a big sleep. After her sleep she was feeling a bit fragile and not ready to put up with too much fussing around. I thought I did well to get a couple of reasonable 3 and 4 generation shots - outside, late afternoon on a wintry grey Canberra day. I tried to get the big splashy red camellias in the picture to brighten things up a bit.
It was big day for me. I had the opportunity to meet my friend Jane Le Dieu for coffee in the morning. We spent two hours at Artespresso catching up with the news since we'd last met over a year ago. We realised Jane's been in Brisbane 12 years now and it is easily 20 years since we first got to know each other teaching Art together at Canberra High School.

I especially enjoyed hearing news of Tania Mc Murtry, now living with Allen and their 2 girls in their Georgian villa in Chelsea, London. Jane visited them about a year ago, soon after they had moved to London from Sydney.
