Birthday Wishes ...

to our beautiful granddaughter Ruby, Legs ELEVEN today!!!

Goodbye Muffin

Passed away peacefully today 24th May 2012 to 8th November 2015

INTRODUCING OUR NEW HENS, GINEVRA & SUSAN

We purchased these lovely girls of a man about 20 minutes from home. We have been wanting a Light Sussex for awhile now, and he was also selling some Rhode Island Reds, so we got one so they can have each other for company, which is important when joining an existing flock.

Ella named the Sussex Susan (Suzie) and Kate named the RIR Ginevra, after the witch in Harry Potter.

I hope they settle in well.

Kate - Camp

Kate was away last week with her friends on the Year Nine camp 4 hours south from Perth. She had a fabulous time pushing herself to new heights and trying new things. She loved the whole experience, and as you can tell by these photos she sent me, the weather was gorgeous for nearly the middle of Winter! She even loved the food! I missed her terribly though, it's the longest she's been away from me. She came home on Friday very tired and dirty but happy!

Happy Birthday Kate

It's hard to believe this beautiful young lady turned fourteen today! Where did those 14 years go? We celebrated with dinner out at a Japenese restaurant, which was really delicious. Birthday party during the holidays.

Happy Birthday beautiful girl,
We love you to the moon and back!

MUFFIN

We have a sick chook at the moment, hanging out with Gordon in his outside bed. Lucky they all get along fine and Gordon is happy to share!

FRESH FLOWERS IN THE HOUSE

I discovered a lovely man on a side road that sells the most gorgeous bunches of fresh flowers for a very reasonable price. The colours are just stunning, the fragrant smell divine.

I bought a few mixed bunches, mainly because I couldn't decide, and also because it's nice to support the small business.

As long as I can remember, I have love carnations. The small of these is very strong, especially the red one. I will definitely buy these again.

I also got these gorgeous ones! Loving all the colours and smells in my house right now.

Lest We Forget.

Kate and Phil attended the Dawn Service at the Kalamunda War Memorial this morning. So proud of Kate for suggesting it  and for getting out of bed in the cold. We will remember them.

Girls' in the City

With the end of the school holidays fast approaching, and seeing I have worked long hours all the way through, I let the girls' decide what to do today. They chose the City for some shopping and sights. On the way home. we stopped at the South Perth Foreshore which was very busy with walkers, runners, cyclists and families playing with balls and dogs!

Stunning blue sky against architecture

The autumn leaves were stunning

Beautiful old church

My favourite - London Court

The girls' loved this chocolate set!

We ate at The London Cafe

Ella purchased some earrings

Interesting bottle top tree

We spotted a limosine ...

And then saw a wedding party

Down this alleyway we adored all the artwork

This was closed, but I would love to go there one day

We bought bath bombs at Lush

Break time!
