IT HAS BEEN HOT
Here on the Mornington Peninsula we are having a week of temperatures between 29 C ( 84F) to 39 C (104F). It is actually 39 C at my home now!!! Way too hot for me.

Yesterday in the late afternoon Max and I went to Seawinds Gardens at Arthurs Seat. There was such a lovely cool breeze. Such a pretty spot to go for a walk and then have a picnic dinner. We also went there last Tuesday for a picnic dinner.
These first two photos show you the lovely view we had.
There are some lovely sculptures created by William Ricketts.

Beautiful faces
Such a fabulous place for a visit.

It sure has been warm this week Alison. Doesn't it always get hot just as the kids are going back to school? The view from Arthur's Seat is lovely. I haven't been there for years. I think it is about time I took my kids up there.
Hugs,
Kerryanne
I'm going to close my eyes and imagine I'm there - I much prefer the heat over the cold winter!

Wow Alison, what incredible sculptures. It has also been hot here too but only in the early 30s and there has been no rain for ages. I am happy to say though that it is gently raining as I write this. I hope it gets heavier this evening. How is your Dad going? Did the trip go alright. Thinking of you all, Angela.
Amazing sculptures Alison. Your temps are 29 C and ours have been minus 29C with the wind chill :-)
Hi Alison! It is hot here in TX too! Weird weather for us in January, though!
What a pretty setting for a romantic picnic!!
Big TX Hugs,

Alsion you have been posting some beautiful photos of the region on your blog lately. Hope you get some cool bay breezes soon.
VIC is such a wonderful region, will be sure to drop you a line next time we get down there again.
Ohhh that is hot! Here I am wishing for summer but I don't like it that hot! Hopefully it will cool down soon for you!
Hey Alison know what you mean about the heat, it is soooooo hot & muggy up here I just want summer to end & we have not had our hottest month yet!! How beautiful are your photos just the spot for a picnic I think. Boy is that William Ricketts a very talented man, love his sculptures. Oh & I will take you up on the coffee if I ever get down your way.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am completely loving those sculptures, the detail is incredible.

The sculptures are really wonderful. Someday I would like to visit your area.
hasn't it been scorching!!! It was 42 at my place on Saturday, way too hot for me too!
Love the Mornington Peninsula, a beautiful part of Australia. I haven't been there for a few years now but it's one of my favorite places. If I come again i'll let you know :)
Thanks for your comment on my blog, at this point I'm not sure if I'll be back but will still visit my friends when I can. Take care x
Hey sweet Alison... so good to hear from you...
Sitting on the sofa with a heating pad..... thought I would check my email and blog ... found your comment... I so appreciate the well wishes...

Hi Alison - 41 here today and it's not nice at all. I do enjoy the summer but not this hot! Hope you are keeping cool? Thanks for popping by too! Kathryn. XX
Wow, very hot!!
It was so nice to hear from you.
I have more time now to start visiting the blogs again.
I have missed visiting you.
Thank you for your sweet comments.

I wish it was warm here! I am freezing! I can't wait for spring and summer.
Well over by me we are bracing for a major snow storm, I could use a warm breeze right now, LOL!
The views are gorgeous and so are those amazing sculptures!
Magic and Joy!
Lisa!
i"m not an Aussie girl, but I surely am one at heart. What a gorgeous place, and that sculpture is wonderful. If you feel hot this week, come on over. We are having more snow tomorrow and the wind chill should bring it down to feel minus. Brrrrrrrrrr. Maybe we should meet in between the map somewhere, both extremes are a bit uncomfortable.
Karen
I'm struggling with the heat too, bring on winter!!
Hi Alison. Thanks for visting my blog! I know you guys are suffering from this awful heat too...here's hoping it's all over soon! At least a picnic with a lovely view would help!
wow! that is hot-lovely pictures though.Here in Canada it has been really cold.
Carolyn
Hi Alison,
I hope you are fairing well in the hot weather.
I love those sculptures, very interesting.

Hi Alison! I love seeing your summer pics in the middle of our winter. My feet are freezing right now, and I'm pining for some warmer weather!
