25 years!

Twenty five years ago today I married my best friend. The only one to ever love me warts and all.

We have had our ups and downs, I have wanted to kill him many times and I'm sure I have infuriated him many more. But through it all we have loved one another. The last 25 years have been nothing if not eventful. We have raised our family, built our business, and now look forward to the next 25 years. 

I hope they are peaceful ones, lol

The pic of the flowers are what were waiting for me when I woke this morning, as well as breakfast in bed, very spoilt I am.

See ya.

Darn cat

Bella has decided that me staying in bed and using my iPad is the perfect time for her to attack my feet. So looked so cute concentrating that I took a photo with my phone.

this is the look I got after the flash distracted her. Not happy jan!

Needless to say she attacked ferociously to pay me back.

So now I'm out of bed and getting some stuff done around the place, jeez no rest for the wicked here.

An island adventure

Now that hubby can drive again, yeahhhh, we decided to go to Phillip island and have some lunch. I love to eat fish and chips on the beach, but it was very windy so we settled for souvalakis in the car parked at the each. Lol. We then drove to the nobbies to hae a look at the water. It's a beautiful sight and an important area for the local wildlife. The penguin parade is just next door but we didn't stay long enough to see them.

on the way back I kept seeing signs for a trout farm so we headed in to have a look. It's a very nicest up with outdoor and indoor pools. We decided to fish indoors. Isn't it great.

the water runs down this water fall and goes into the pool and is recycled back up again.

hubby catching our dinner. And the unlucky fish. Is cooking now on the BBQ and it smells delicious.

Have a great week everyone.

Wattle

Our national flower is the golden wattle. I'm sure sure if this is that type but our wattle tree is looking glorious. 

It's in full bloom and the bees love it! 

I tried to get a shot of the bee but it had gone when I took th photo. Oh well it's a nice close up of the flowers.

When the sun shines on it it looks fantastic

Memories

Isn't it funny the things that jog your memory. While out shopping with the hubby yesterday I spotted these glasses. Not particularly expensive. They came in a box of six for about $7 or $8 dollars. But what they did do was remedied me of my grandmother. She always had coloured classes and we would get our milk in them along with jam sandwiches for supper before going to bed. I know sugar before bed! But it worked for us. Lol

So I have washed and out these in the cupboard and every time I use them I will remember my granny.

A lovely lunch

Yesterday we had a lovely lunch and catch up with sue and Keith who were the couple we went camping with last year. Now for the last 30 years I have been driving past the caldermeade dairy and cafe on the south gippsland hwy. I always think I should go there and have a meal.

Well Hester day we did, and oh my how lovely it was.

there is an animal nursery where children can pat and interact with the babies. Being winter there were only the piggies and a couple of kids, but still I could here the city children laughing and having a ball.

I didn't get any shots of the cafe, but it's got a definitely country feel about it and a lot of the produce is from the dairy or sourced from the local area.

So if your traveling along the south gippsland hwy, maybe heading to Philip island, think about stopping in at the caldermeade dairy for a quick bite, or just a coffee break and pat the animals.

I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Christmas is coming

I got these two books during the week. I ordered them from the net and even with postage they were really cheap! I've decided that I'm going to make chrissy presents this year, if I can get motivated!

The third book I got a few months ago and will be looking I that for inspiration as well. I've already started on one of those fancy scarves but I may have to pull it out and start again. I'll take a photo and show you onces I've don't that. 

So any other suggestions?

Do you like getting hand made gifts?

Have a great weekend everyone.

See ya
