Little J had a Children's Book Week Dress Up Day. He decided to go as Mr. Snow from the Mr. Men Series of books....he's looking a bit serious, but I think he had a fun day!!!!!

Mother's Day Weekend

The weather was sunny but cold...nothing over 18 degrees. The wind was a bit blustery but that's ok for clifftop and beach walks. We spent the weekend in Queenscliff in a cosy cabin by the beach. Lovely dinner in one of the local pubs in front of a roaring open fire and loads of exploring.......trains, shops, lighthouses, mini golf, a fort, beaches and a Sunday morning market. We stopped in Geelong on the way home to have lunch on the waterfront and see what the Wool Museum had to offer....nothing better than special times with family............xx

Daylesford Delights

The last day of the holidays...autumn..sun shining but wind cold..fresh chestnuts...a market at the railway station...fresh produce...cosy lunch at Cliffy's...retail therapy in beautiful shops...it's hard to beat a day in Daylesford. Longer next time I think!

Family Easter

Ahhh..they joys of a holiday and a celebration. Good Friday at our house is always filled with family, food, conversation and laughter. We enjoy the closeness of family...which always seems to be extending!....and welcome new members into the clan. We decorate eggs and have a fiercely contested egg rolling competition every year. It seems a shame to only do it once a year!...oh well...only twelve months and we'll do it all again! Love to all xxxx

My baby is growing up!

My beautiful boy is now 11 years old and in his last year at primary school...where does that time go???? A happy..if not tired (3 days at school camp)....boy, we celebrated another milestone.....happy birthday my gorgeous one!!!! xxxxx

Autumn Blooms in the front garden

The garden is having a final fling and showing off all it's colours before winter starts to settle in...temperatures in the mid twenties and a rain at night means the garden is healthy and blooming!!!!

EARTH HOUR 2009

Earth Hour is an important event each year which encourages the world to stop and think about our planet and how we should be looking after it. We turned out the lights for an hour to use less energy and think about ways we can nurture our home planet.....hope you find ways to look after the Earth too!

Our "new" House !

Well...here it is...after years on waiting and saving...we finally got the whole place carpeted. What a difference it has made...cleaner, quieter, warmer, and much more aesthetically pleasing!!! It looks like a proper house now.....aaahhh...lovely!
