Moving and City Living

It has been a while since I have blogged.

For those of you that follow along on Instagram, you will know that we have completed our big downsize move.

How was it?  In a word : Epic

We have moved from a quiet little area in the bush surrounded by gums, kangaroos and emus to

SYDNEY

A massive change for the whole family but we are getting there.  There are no boxes left to unpack, the sewing room is set up and I have completed my first sewn item since the sequin gown (maybe I just needed an extended break after that)

 We are loving playing tourist and think that we will always feel a little like tourists in this city.  I just need to buy a selfie stick and then we will really fit in and I can not get enough of this amazing bridge, I don't think I will ever get tired of admiring its beauty.

 

 

Making the most of our {bonus} Kinder year

I won't ever look back on this year and wish that I had sent Baden to school when he should have started with his peers.  Apart from getting to spend some special time with my little boy, it has also been fantastic for him.  He has grown and developed so much this year and his language and social skills are far better then this time last year. 

I'm not sure what the weather man is up to, but we are getting something similar to our winter here this week.  Instead of locking ourselves inside we decided to go for a ride and explore our 'backyard' 

I've completly failed Blogtober this year.  Oh well.  There is always next year.

Summer Fun with Friends

Five Friends, a new trampoline and a sprinkler was all that was required yesterday to cool down these hot little bodies.

If it is hot where you are please keep cool and stay safe from the terrible bushfires.  If you are cold, then put another layer on and enjoy a hot chocolate for me by the fire.

One of the Locals

I live in a very unique part of Australia where we do actually have Emu's and Kangaroo's roaming the streets (and getting into our back yards if we forget to close a gate - They make for excellent lawn mowers)

They have not ventured into the housing area much this year as there has been alot of green pickings on the ovals and the paddocks.  This fellow came for a wonder yesterday.

I am hoping that he is the head scout and we will soon see Daddy Emu's with babies following behind.
