Nannys 80th Birthday

ffdd

It was this lovely ladies 80th birthday last weekend
I think this is such a lovely photo of Nanny and Poppa
here is a few more shots taken over the weekend

What a lucky family we are to have such a special Mother, grandmother and great grandmother, and how lucky we are to be able to see her reach her 80th birthday. With a team effort 2 very memorable days were had ...some people were there others were not but were there in spirit.A very memorable occasion and one I am sure Nanny and Poppa will not forget....FAMILY =LOVE XXXXXX

It is all go here right now!

Well what I thought was going to be a kind of bearable job has turned out to be biggie..... Re piling 5 rooms in the house! and also deciding to take a large wall out to open up the dining room into the lounge...try this up to 8 men in the house, 100 year old dirt, dust, and  borer,...equals me coughing! John coughing! every surface in the remaining part of the house that you can still see covered in dust and me wondering quite how we got into this? right before Xmas....Yes it is a fantastic job to get done and the builder has quoted that it was pretty poked under neath but man oh man this place is a mess...I guess we will get through it but there is a shit load of work to be done to get this lovely little house back to looking like a home!and as for my lovely garden you can only guess what that looks like!oops and the driveway!! photos to follow.....Not moaning really but jeez it is quite a job!

It is all go in this neck of the woods!!!

Check this out and watch this space!!! what we started originally with re piling the lounge, dining room, 2 bedrooms, and the hallway is turning out to be a bit more than that, the wall between the lounge and dining room is coming out!!! hope we are making the right decision...too late now anyway John has begun!Will keep the progress up to date as we go

Melodrama 2011 westward ho....

Well another Melodrama completed by Le Bons Bay School, this time we joined Duvauchelle and Okains Bay which proved to be a success 50 kids pretty good effort I say

Here is a few photos of what turned out to be a performance to be remembered .....

Roll on Summer evenings

didn't last long in the water! the tide was going out quite swiftly and they didn't like it!

Yum, lentil patties in pita bread, cooked on the little portable gas BBQ

Thank goodness for the back of the Ute, the only reason I can have tea at the beach is because having it on the back of the Ute  guarantees no sand in your food!

 One lonesome oyster catchers egg

We made a protective cage around it hope it hasn't scared them off...

Tonight we packed up an impromptu picnic and headed to the beach, it had been a beautiful day here all day and what better way to spend an evening.... Kids had fun, adults had fun, John went for a kayak out to the old wharf and the kids had fun digging in the sand, while I took photos and enjoyed the beginnings of a lovely summer...
