The Winter That Was...


Playing on the sand dunes with Dad and
scooting on the beach front with Winston the Wombat
With Spring well and truly in the air I am happy to declare Winter is over!!! Although we can't really complain about Winter down under, it is nice to get some warmth in the air again.


What a find! Sommersby Falls


As you can see my Winter still revolves around the beach. Little girls swimming in the ocean in July (Brrrr), scooting on the beach front, discovering some local water falls, lots of coffee, park and play time.
Unfortunately we have also had some nasty computer viruses, that have kept me away from blog land! (look out for a particularly persistant virus call my web search).
We also had a sleep over/bake off!! My eldest daughter and 4 of her friends participate in the RSPCA cup cake fund raiser. It was our year to host the event. This involves a (mandatory) sleepover and the girls (and mother) making heaps of cupcakes, decorating and selling them! The girls managed to pull in $300 odd dollars.
Did I mention the dancing?? Yes, there was a little bit of dancing and we even managed to squeeze in a child free night at the spectacular Shoal Bay.

  4. Jeanne - Yes, our shy little retiring Beth can certainly put on a performance.
    Julie - Thanks, yes Shoal Bay is divine. Sommersby Falls is on the central coast. Hope you have a great week and this weather over the weekend has been superb!
    Carla - hope the winter is not too harsh! My dancing girl at home, I was mucking around with shutter speeds and quite liked the end result!
