New roads in old Killara - yellow spring theme : September 8 2024

Still running a sick house here. My wife has gone to bronchitis stage. I am sleeping better but not running anywhere near 100%. My wife went out early ti get some flu stuff. She did come back with ingredients for dinner.

Would have liked to get a train-bike-walk thing going but no trains this weekend. No chance to take a bike on the train replacement buses. Could not get fired up to ride anywhere. Did the map work for a ride to Gordon Creek. Went to walk the front end of that

First up photos of an old house being tidied up probably for sale. Colour becomes part of the theme for the day

This flower caught my eye - lovely colour and fine detail

Matching house the same colour as the house before

Spring blossom in the courtyard

Azaleas are bright - spring bright

A little two tone azalea

Double up in pink

Spied this around the edge of a driveway. Not seen one before - maybe a lily. Found a cross walk and went off the original path

This house brings together one theme - blossoms

Not walked down this far - a few old style Killara houses for the story. What got my attention was the spring growth in the massive acer tree in the front yard

Old style single story house with a simple tidy garden

Across the way a more traditional red brick English home - also one level

A red form of clivia - they are normally orange

Killara Church - limestone blackened with age. Unusual as most of the old buildings here are sandstone. Wonder where the limestone came from

Blossoms on the way back - no bees for photos

Last yellow house - also for sale

My wife bought prawns and calamari for dinner. My tradition from Mocambique days as a kid is yellow rice and grilled prawns (lemon garlic butter and peri peri)

Pillau rice

Butterfly the prawns

Calamari prep - bread crumbs, salt and pepper - cooked in airfryer for 4 minutes a side

Made for a flavourful dish - every element cooked just right
