Easter 2011
What a wonderful Easter we have had. We spent most of the time with friends. On Saturday we went to our friends’ house for an Easter egg hunt. There were lots of children, who all played beautifully, and there was lots of delicious food (breakfast pizzas! Hello!). The children also made their own bunny ears […]
Happy cooking
A few weeks ago we endured a very wet weekend. We think we had over 100ml of rain because some buckets that were outdoors had more than 10cm in them! We spent the whole day on Sunday, cooking on our beautiful wood stove. It was such a productive day, albeit completlely exhausting. We loved it. […]
oh so smiley ;)
I am feeling extra blessed. We are living in this picturesque valley, which is so beautiful and safe compared to the dramas and troubles that are occurring not just over our country but throughout the world. To enjoy this sunny long weekend with my happy, safe and healthy family was a blessing of magnitude proportions; […]
Matthew starts kinder
I remember the moment my son was born. After a bit of heaving and pushing, he slid out. When the midwives caught him, they said “What a big baby!” to which I replied, “Is it?” before flopping onto the bed and letting Monte mop my forehead whilst this enormous* baby was put onto my chest […]

Christmas Day 2010
Christmas Day was lovely! We had the usual morning present spree. Our theory is that we should treat it like the proverbial bandaid (rip it off as fast as possible), to get the present thing over and done with. I find it a bit overwhelming; the children were given a lot of gifts from lovely […]
Huon Show 2010
We had a great day at the Huon Show last weekend. It took us nearly 5 hours to walk around the main oval, with all the stopping we did for various reasons: patting baby animals; gawking at old machinery; eating sausages; stopping for coffee; watching horses; feeding the baby; changing the baby; eating ice-cream; and […]
Down to the orchard and other delights
It’s only a very small and very young orchard, but we still call it the orchard. We’re growing a few different apples and cherries, and probably some other fruits (I’m not a fruit expert so we’ll see what happens when fruit eventually appears on the boughs!). The weather is starting to get rather beautiful, and […]
