Carl and Edna

This past weekend, Briony and I took a little trip to Canberra to see Floriade. At Floriade there was a gnome painting competition only entrants didn't have to compete, they could just pay a fee to buy and paint a gnome.

This is how Carl and Edna were born. 

Carl and Edna are such gaddabouts!

They visited the National Carillon

They visited the seat of Australian democracy (I think Edna is quite engaged with politics)

They took an afternoon stroll on the shore of Lake Burley Griffin

Edna didn't appreciate being photobombed at the National War Memorial

Carl and Edna took a moment away from their adoring fans at  the Mount Ainslie lookout

Being the kind of people they are, Carl and Edna are at the forefront of the trend for couples to live separately. Carl was happy to get  home to his pets and Edna her garden. 

They both feel a bit too fragile to travel again but they aren't ruling it out......
