Frosty Mornings

We have been having a few rather chilly mornings here in Northam. While the official temperatures have been -2'C, it was -7'C down by the river which I know for you in the upper northern hemisphere isn't that cold but it is for here. Frost has been thick on the ground. This picture was last Monday morning at 7am. By the time I left for work at 8 it was solid white. Very chilly!!!

Sooo Cute!

On Wednesday I went to the big city of Goomalling (Population approx 500) for lunch with Ruth and to get some serious cuddle time with my proxy grand daughter Breanna. I can't believe she is nearly 10 months old already! She is the sweetest thing. Ruth is so great with her but I always knew Ruth would be a great mum.

Ruth has to decide whether to come back to work or not by the end of this month. She says she still doesn't know! One day she thinks she will and the next she has changed her mind. We would really like her back but know that the decision is hers! I have even offered to have Breanna on my day off if she needs a babysitter!
On the way home from Ruth's I spotted this neat windmill in the paddock so stopped to take a picture. It ended up taking me over an hour to get home because I stopped a couple of times to take photos. I also stopped at St David's Church at Jennapullin and took a heap of shots. The church gates here is my favourite and I think it will be my choice for a pictorial quilt challenge that I will be starting in the next couple of weeks.

Bali

In May Jeff and I spent 8 wonderful days relaxing in Bali for a much needed rest. I can't recount our adventures because there weren't any as we spent most of the time lazing by the pool and only really ventured out to eat! I did try to take some interesting photos though.....

The one of the motorbikes was typical of the side of the road just about anywhere you went.











We did make a point to visit the Bali Memorial for those lost in the bombings in 2002 and did tend to visit the area most nights. It was always crowded with tourists and locals. It was very moving and is a beautiful structure.

Other than that we probably experienced the best Italian food we had eaten in a long while at a little restaurant called Sasa's in Semiyak. It was a very restful holiday!


The Pictures of the Frangipannis were taken from the balcony of our room. They were everywhere and just beautiful!

Catching up again!

I thought I would be really consistent with this blog thing but it looks like it wasn't to be! here it is! 6 Months since I last posted - how slack is that!!

Anyway - after much nagging I am posting pics of our finished family room make over. Needless to say I love it! I am really happy with the way it all came together in the end and am so glad to be rid of those awful heavy drapes. Jeff even likes it!:)
