EASTER

WHAT A LOVELY FOUR DAYS - sunny, luke and etta arrived on friday.    After an unexpected overnight visit from alan and meryl on their way to WA.  they stayed to meet etta and headed off.   i'm glad they got in a last visit even though i was completely out of it, having put an offer on a house just before i left torquay and then driving all day to get home with only a day to catch my breath.


ETTA is just a little dream
at an age where she's repeating everything we say in her own special way, busy all day exploring, playing, climbing - a highlight was putting out the 
bin, she loves a wheelie bin and i have such a long driveway :0)

i loved having etta climb up onto my bed in the
mornings for some quiet time with sunny and me



HOT CROSS BUNS


Lovely to have sunny here for four days too, we all had a relaxing weekend, luke and i both cooking.  We had a trip to perry sandhills, in to mildura to the markets, and of course the easter event in wenty, junction junk day.  sunny got a wonderful big plant, i think it's an elephant's ear. i got a funny old knitting book full of 1940's tea cosies.


etta loves a puddle




Wenty has the regatta every easter, we spent some time on the lawn watching the races




ah, the scary
Wenty easter
rabbit, always
lounging out
the front of 
the bakery

PERRY SANDHILLS, always a wonderful place 
to spend time






The day after sunny, luke and etta headed off it rained - all day and the next, beautiful soaking rain.  It washes old leaf litter into the river and causes this strange foam to appear.   It's been great this week to welcome back first one then two pelicans.  With Lake Eyre filling up and exploding into life they've choofed off up there for the past few months.  I hope they're all back soon, it feels half empty without them.

GAIL AND I flew up to trinity beach on april 2.  on the way i received a text from agent michael to say a buyer had agreed to my price for Wentworth.  So i travelled down with a new purpose in looking at properties on the peninsula.


TRINITY BEACH - what a fabulous laid back week we had,  we walked every morning before sunrise to the swimming beach and swam as the sun came up.  breakfast at the little cafe across the road then home for another swim in the lovely little pool before a day of scrabble, reading, snoozing, lunch, more swimming, dinner . . .   a real holiday.

AFTER A WEEK of complete relaxation i saw a house in Indented Head that i decided to look at.   Just where i wanted to be, the house needs work on the bathroom and repainting of some awful coloured walls but has the bare bones of what i need. susan, jenny, gail and i went back next day and i decided to make an offer.  I was successful , and drove home in a day to wait for sunny, luke and etta to arrive for easter.  Autumn was in full swing as i came through ballarat

RECALCITRANCE!!!

 I HAVEN'T WRITTEN ANYTHING here for almost a month!!    Keeping the house up to scratch for viewers  and travels down south have meant i've completely overlooked my poor blog.

And now i'm in queensland.  Time for a big update when i get home tonight from a week of complete relaxation in Trinity Beach with Gail
