Guess who went to Margaret River?

Bertie has just taken his Mum and her friend Dianne - who is visiting from California, USA to Margaret River and surrounds. Their first stop was in Mandurah to have a coffee with Golda and here he is pictured with Golda & Dianne. Then Bertie found himself outside Vat 107 in MR - a restaurant his Mum has been to many times. Day two included a visit to the very south west of Western Australia - to Augusta, the lighthouse and to see where the two oceans (Southern & Indian) meet. Here he is at a lookout, outside Augusta.

For three nights Bertie slept outside this lovely cottage at Bussells Bushland Cottages - a lovely place to be. Day three saw his Mum & Dianne indulging at the MR Chocolate Factory while he waited patiently outside.

It was fun for Bertie to go on a long drive - and his Mum said he was great fun to be with. For those interested - he got 17 kms per litre or 48 miles per gallon in old terms - what a champion!

Out and about

Cottesloe Beach at sunset - waiting for his Mum to finish her drink with Nige, Kate & Yol at the OBH on Friday night! And resting in the early morning sun at North Beach while she had a coffee with Doris.

Final Touch

Finally........ everything is done! This is Shane putting the replacement spoiler on - he even came to Bertie's home to do it. Thanks Shane. Now Bertie is totally complete and so, so beautiful! Bertie's Mum also bought him a brand new Perth & surrounds map AND with it came a WA Atlas - with all the roads in Western Australia marked on it. Looks like Bertie will be having plenty more adventures.

Country Visiting

Last Thursday Bertie went to visit some 'sort of'' relatives of his. They live in a lovely part of Perth - Up The Hill! Alexander and his parents and grandparents live there - and here are some photos of them all together. It is nice to go on a drive but Bertie does so wish that the other cars going 'up the hill' would move over to the left hand lane - so he could really get a chance to show his Mum how powerful he is!

The Nice Man at VW

Normally one wouldn't include a car salesman in their list of people to tell the world about! ..... but Bertie wanted to show his appreciation to this particular one - for being instrumental in not only finding him for his Mum! ..... but also for his patience and dedication to making him look as handsome as he is.

Thank you Mr Ken.
