This year we are having a quiet Easter at home except for a drive on Sunday to visit some of our family who are staying in Goolwa, about an hour and a half from our home.
The fuel situation has not really affected us as most places we need to get to are only a few kms away and we try to do a few things on the way to make the trip more worthwhile, but for those who live a greater distance from their workplace the cost of fuel would be an extra cost on top of the other extra rises in cost of living expenses. We are retired so don't have too many problems except for medical appointments which are ongoing these days.
We had a lovely day at Goolwa visiting family and friends staying there over Easter. I didn't take any photos as I was kept busy talking with friends who I hadn't seen for about a year. The friends are actually friends of our daughter so we only see them on these holiday weekends but its always good to catch up as the younger adults are now in the workforce and the children are also now teenagers and their parents are spending more time on holidays. We ended up taking our granddaughter with us to save her from driving down on her own and to save her the cost of petrol, but our grandson had Uni work to do so he stayed home but I left him with some Easter goodies.
Our granddog Banjo also was at Goolwa so it was lovely to give him some attention. He doesn't leave us alone once he sees us, he is such a lovely doggie.
