Corymbia Festival 2013



Today was our annual local festival. Our dance school always entertains the crowd with some items chosen from the previous years concert. Kates singing item "Annie" was picked. She was also part of a flash mob raising money for Cancer. Ella wasn't in it this year.

Preparing for flash mob
The coloured balloons were a wonderful addition
They were let go at the beginning
Great dancing!
Gorgeous stilt walkers
Ella bought a Sponge Bob hairclip at a stall
The band was awesome but loud!
No festival without fairy floss

The day was so so hot though. Every year this festival is on a scorcher of a day. This year was no different, with temps close to 40. Ella got a migraine right at the end cutting short our time to watch the firework display, we saw it as we walked to the car, but no photos. She just got in the front door at home and grabbed a bucket. Poor sick girl :(

Labour Day


Today being a public holiday I had thought we might go out for lunch. Trouble was when the time came, the girls' didn't want to get dressed and go anywhere. Phil was busy studying, and even though after a while, they said they would, I knew they didn't really want to. So I took the opportunity to go for a peaceful drive on my own.


 I drove up into the hills, through Bickley Valley. It was so peaceful. I got out to take some photos along the way, and meet this delightful chap who ran over to the fence for a pat.


His friend didn't even look up! The valley was very dry, but gorgeous however, I could easily live here!


I stopped and had a look at Carmel College. How would you like the view while studying?


 I stopped off to look at the rose gardens where I planned to have lunch, but knew as soon as I saw all the cars parked on the roadside, there was not a chance!


 I stopped to look at the fish, I saw someone had been feeding Nutrigrain to them!


 One last stop on the way home at a lookout that looks out to Perth City!


TWO Years On ...

This is one of my all time favourite photos of Dad holding Jonah at 8 weeks.

I can't believe it's been 2 years since Dad passed away. We miss his cherry voice and wisdom everyday!

This was the view when I went outside this morning. A local scrap metal yard on fire! All under control now :)

Happy First Birthday Phoebe!

Sweet Pheebs as she is affectionately known is one year old today!
We are so happy Pheebs is still with us, as she became unwell Christmas night, and while she is better than she was we are unsure what her future holds. She has not laid an egg since Christmas Eve, but that doesn't matter. Kate spends alot of time with her friend :)
