Out about- some of my favourite places

This morning Mum came over and we went to my favourite cafe, Salt of the Earth. This cafe started up at the end of last year and im so glad it did. Its my kind of place with hand made and organic foods and little crafted items and art work for sale.

On the 1st and 3rd Saturday each month they hold the markets. This morning I enquired about having a stall and they were quite keen to have me start up so im going to be buisy making and getting some goodies together to sell, hopefully I can be ready by the next one

Heres the outdoor eating area that has tables full of goodies on market days. All the beautiful plants apart from the large trees were planted late last year when they opened but to look at it you can hardly imagine that the garden is so new. It has a beautiful old english garden feel that my pictures just dont do justice

Heres another of my favourite places, our local craft co-op "Clementines Corner" which started up some time last year. Its closed today but usually the little gate is open there are all sorts of wind chimes and goodies inviting you to enter and have a look. They sell all sorts of handmades from natural goats milk soaps to quilts and even jams and sauces. 

I love walking past this house as their are always chickens and ducks out of their yard exploring the surounding scrub. It makes me feel so happy that they can wonder wild and free! This morning I saw about 15 chicks out pecking about, cherping happily in the cool morning air, they looked just like my chickens not many months ago, so sweet.

Its so nice to go for walks and have familiar favourite things to see. I have a favourite big old pepercorn tree, and a picnic spot where I take the children, where wispy trees reach almost to the ground like a natural cubby house.

When I moved to Port Wakefield I moved here to be with Benny and we didn't plan on being here too long. Quite honestly I longed to move away for quite some time but now I feel like its truly my home and im happy here. At the moment Benny's parents are having a house built and when they do we will be moving into their current house.  Im eagerly looking forward to August when the moves are to take place.

Our new place will be much roomier and it has great storage and shed space. Our current house is rather small and with the dining room doubling as my daycare area and my tiny craft room as the childrens sleep room, it can get quite tight and crowded at times. 

The new place not only beautiful green grass in the front and back garden, but a big green oval across the road! We can do what we want to the garden and even plant fruit trees, which has for a long time seemed like a far off dream. Shops and playground are closer to walk to (I know some little people who will be thankful!) School and kindy are just a block away.

Im realy starting to love our little town and once we are settled in the new place I think I will be quite content to stay here for as long as our life journeys keep us here
