Long days.........

I am not quite sure how - but the days seem so pleasantly long here... I and the kids have been so much more productive than usual - who knows it may wear off but for now i am running with it...

Charlottes impromtu paddle pop stick and glue gun creation started at 7.30am this morning..

Amelia's crocodile that she jumped straight out of bed at 6am and started on immediately - she said she dreamed about it... Ingenuis use of sushi soy fish i thought!!

Thanks

I've had my sinus surgery and I'm on the mend - it took me awhile to get to the Cape patterson pictures...

Thanks for all your well wishes and special care from my mumma and husband , visit from my gorgeous sis (who also thoughtfully express posted me a novel i have been busting to read, as i couldnt get my hands on it - it will benefit us both - you will NEVER hear the end of it now!!)...In laws took the kids for a night and came home with the gorgeous bunch of blooms pictured which put a smile on my dial - thanks all xx

Feeling like a new woman, still a little sore, but i managed to sniff the dumpster down at the dairy and actually got some smell today....I will never take smells - even bad ones for granted again.. fingers crossed it restores to its finest soon...

maiden voyage in the new van

It was impromptu and gutsy but we made a snap decision to take the new van out on its maiden voyage. I drove into town and filled a trolley with the necessities to kit out the van - forks, doonas, cups, plates, kettle, etc..... and we decided whatever we had forgotten we would try and get or do without....

Only an hour away from home to Cape Patterson we headed, girls even broke out the in car DVD - hardly necessary but the quiet time to take in the views along the way was appreciated by mumma and pappa..

Pappa was equipped with his new birthday present - a surfboard and new wettie and ready to take aim at his youth and get lost in the froth.... The girls were even excited about giving this surfin stuff a crack - mumma just happy to come along for the ride.

The weekend was just gorgeous - the first display of warm sunshine for some time and we thoroughly enjoyed the ease of camper van camping after years of struggling with endless poles for the camper trailer.

The new rig.
A little excited and wired for sound xx

First night in the van - needless to say took a little while to settle to sleep....

The MOST amazing rock pool for swimming when it gets a bit warmer
