Way back near the beginning of the year, a Melbourne friend was doing some garden renovation, and offered me some bluestones she didn't need any more.
Travelling to and from Melbourne has been off the cards for a lot of the time since, but today was finally the day to go and get the bluestones, tour the garden, and enjoy a lovely lunch with her, her husband, and another Melbourne friend I hadn't seen for most of the year.
Bluestones loaded into the back of the ute, along with mail we collected from the postoffice on the way.
As well as the stones, I came home with plant gifts from each of my friends.
Also known as a midgen berry. It is a pretty shrub with attractive flowers, which are apparently followed by delicious berries. It will be interesting to see if it bears any berries in our climate, and if they are as sweet as "dulcis" would imply.
And here's how the stones were moved around at this end of the journey:

Will those blue stones become a border around a garden plot? Good thing you had a tractor for unloading;)))
Lovely red flowering orchid...what a vibrant color--

Wonder what you are going to do with your bluestone? Pleased you got to catch up with your friend from the other side of the city.
Must have been a very smooth drive home with all that weight in the back.
I don’t know what bluestones are. It looks like more gorgeous flowers in your garden.
