some of my favourite parts of the visit was relaxing by the fire, having meals together with all 8 of us fitting around our kitchen table for meals full of conversations and laughter (and yummy spagetti, minestroni soup, salad(with red capsicum which i had no idea i liked raw and is now my ultimate favourite!) pies, mmm good food shared, talking crafts (i realy liked levins idea af having a working bee for us before we sell our house at the end of the year with the whole family coming from adelaide, people painting, gardening, fixing... and us girls in the loungeroom by the heater making quilts! hmm not sure we could get away with that! also hanging out together outside, davids gardening tips for me (much needed) and better still david weeding some neglected parts of the front garden(thankyou!) we went together to wallaroo and moonta and while the renners went on the tourist train we spent our money at the quilting shop and checked out over priced but interesting things at antique stores
we also took levin and emily for an opp shop tour (almost getting caught out by the rain, but it was wort it for all our finds of course)
the boys helleped me mulch the veggie patch, always nice to have keen helpers and entertainment:)
the men skipped out on tea dishes to build us this nice warm fire
we were warm and comfy thanks to the old futon weve been meaning to get rid of
id forgotten just how good toasted marshmallow are!
the belloved mazda that someone spotted from a mile away (and knew exactly what model it was too, i was impressed!) he tugged on my hand trying to get my attention to show me and he was sooo excited it took three goes for me to slow him down so i could understand what he was saying. this kids in love!

ReplyDeletep.s. feel free to come and do a working bee at our house too - i think it needs it a LOT more ha ha
I'm so jealous!! It reminds me of the times we used to all pile into the car and head up to your place for a week of living nocturnal, playing up and generally having an absolute ball!
ReplyDeleteI still miss the milkshakes from your lolly-shop, and ships at prices.
And yes, that boy has an eye for style when it comes to his cars! You've gotta love him :)
