Today Felicity married . Congratulations honey. I dedicate the photo of my little " Nano" , I know you like him a lot ^^
* * * * * * * * *
Guardaba esta foto para hoy, 20 de Septiembre. Porque se nos casa Estefy (Felicity), y sé lo mucho que le gusta este peque y quería dedicárselo.
Estefy, espero que hoy tengas los nervios justos, no más. Vas a estar radiante, y vas a ser el centro de atención, así que no falte la sonrisa en tu cara (o te reboleo jajajaja. Es broma XD).
Tantos preparativos... y ya ves, por fin el gran día. Y disfrútalo mucho porque... pasa volando!!! Ya nos contarás qué tal ha ido, tenemos ganas de ver muchas fotos jeje
Ya sabes que este año hemos pasado por una montaña rusa, en cuestión de sentimientos, pero al final lo que bien empieza, bien acaba. Y me alegro de tenerte ahí, "miniona plataníl" XD
Un abrazote fuerte y muchos besetes (^_^)
The Marri, in full bloom, was seen on a drive home from the market. I stopped the car and pulled off a few long branches to put into a vase when I arrived home.
The tree was destined to be knocked down that week to make way for a dual carriage way and the 'dozers were already on site.
I had driven along Gnangara Road for decades, seeing seasonal changes and loving the blooms in Spring.
Now, the leisurely drive is no more. Everyone travels at speed along the new highway and never see the remaining trees beyond.

Jolie Brise is a gaff-rigged pilot cutter built and launched by the Albert Paumelle Yard in Le Havre in 1913 to a design by Alexandre Pâris. After a short career as a pilot boat, owing to steam replacing sail, she became a fishing boat, a racing yacht and a sail training vessel.
1923-1977 Post-Pilot History
Bought by Evelyn George Martin in 1923 she was refitted and won the first Fastnet race from seven starters in August 1925. In 1927 Martin sold Jolie Brise, through an advertisement in Yachting World to Captain Warren Ferrier and his partner Dr Brownlow Smith.
An engine and an additional cabin were fitted at Morgan Giles's yard at Teignmouth. Bobby Somerset, a founder member of the Ocean Racing Club - as was Martin, purchased her in 1928. After competing in the Fastnet, Bermuda and Santander races he sold her four years later to Lt. John Gage, RNR.
His ownership was only for a year and it seems that in 1934 she was purchased by an American, Stanley Mortimer. Alterations, mostly to the living accommodation were made at a yard in Palma, Majorca and a Gardner diesel was fitted in Marseilles. After cruising the Mediterranean, and with war in the offing Jolie Brise returned to Southampton and was put up for sale.
She was bought by William Stannard but requisitioned by the Royal Navy which laid her up on a mud berth at Shoreham for the duration of the war. In 1945 she was bought by a syndicate headed by Lillian and Jim Worsdell and her name was changed to Pleasant Breeze.
A voyage to New Zealand was aborted and when she put into Lisbon she was acquired by a Portuguese syndicate headed by Luis Lobato. Repaired and refitted, she was once again listed as Jolie Brise. For nearly 30 years her home port remained Lisbon but in 1975, partly because of the political situation in Portugal, she returned to the Solent, 50 years after her first Fastnet win.
1977 onwards Current Role
In 1977 she was bought in a collaboration between Dauntsey's School, the International Sailing Craft Association and the Science Museum to serve as the flagship of its sailing club and remains in that role.
Between 1977 and 1991 she sailed extensively around European waters crewed by students from the School, including winning Tall Ships Races in 1980 and 1986. The students were also involved heavily in the care and maintenance of her.
In 1991 she entered a major refit at Gloucester Docks, which was completed in 1993.
The same year she entered the Fastnet Race again, sixty years after her first time in 1931. After a circumnavigation of the UK in 1994, she has sailed all over Europe, and beyond with crews from the School, hosting other schools and groups of young people and with commercial trainees. In 1996 she returned to Portugal to visit Luis Lobato, in 1997 she went north, venturing 200 miles inside the Arctic Circle and in 2000, 2009 and 2017 she sailed across the Atlantic to the Bermuda, USA and Canada. In 2019 she visited Iceland and the Faroe Islands for the first time.
In 2003 she was bought by Dauntsey's School outright.
The boat is currently skippered by Toby Marris, and has the capacity to carry up to 12 students for local and international cruising and racing trips.

Famouse marri tree of Western Australia.
One of the first Australian trees I learned about - long time ago...
Perth, Australia
This photo shows the fruit of the "Red gum" tree. The fruit is locally called a "Honky nut". The trees produce many of these nuts which fall and cover the ground and can become treacherous while trying to walk amongst them.
The local parrots eat the seeds from inside while the nut is still green.
The term "Red gum" does not come from red flowers as most of the trees have white flowers. (some do flower pink to red but that is not the norm.) When the bark of the tree is injured, it seeps a red gum and looks as if it is bleeding. Hence the "Red gum".
Another common name is Marri.
Aboriginal Use of Native Plant:
"Marri:
Also known as Medicine tree because:
1. The red gum or 'kino' was sprinkled onto wounds to prevent bleeding or mixed with water to be used as a mouthwash or disinfectant
2. Tannin has antiseptic qualities
3. Large quantities of the powdered gum was used to tan kangaroo skins"
