Away

Well, I haven't felt much like blogging recently - but I've got a memory card full of photos from our recent trip to Denmark (the Western Australian one that is..) so here are a few of my favourites -

Home Town

It was so nice to go home for a bit and check it was all still the same.

It was - exactly the same -

Winter roses...

The Bell Tower...

Slight flooding...

Evening light...

This clock was there the first time I ever went to the cinema...

 

Nice sky...

A certain East European flavour...

And, of course, the main topic of conversation in town, the new (completely unfinished) bridge!

The holiday starts here!!

We haven't been on holiday for a whole year! Is that possible? No wonder I'm looking forward to this one.

I've been really busy this week trying to get everything done - 50 small houses for a wholesale order are very nearly finished and should be in the post at school pick up time.

There's still a huge pile of ironing, plant watering, surfboard finding, fish tank cleaning.... and other stuff I've forgotten.

This is our Cornwall song, which always reminds me of our first camping trip together :)

Happy Australia Day!

Some Aussie icons from our holiday last year -

Look at those blue skies...

Ooh Paris!

Ice cream van near the Eiffel Tower - from the Moody family archives :)

All change

Two months tomorrow and we're off to Western Australia - love this print above from Printdolls, a design duo based in Avalon, New South Wales.

Happy Half-Term!

There are three things you really don't want to happen at half-term:

Number 1 Rain
Number 2 Car breaks down
Number 3 Electric company turn power off (for whole day)

Numbers 1 and 2 have happened already, Number 3 is scheduled for Thursday... lets hope Number 1 or Number 2 have changed by then!

Mind you, right now there are chips in the oven and a nice den being built under the dresser, so everyone's happy!

Precipitation in sight

Our weekend in Devon started like this..

...but happily improved.
Lots of running around on the beach, finding baby starfish in rockpools, sleeping in the van and brewing tea.

We found a great little eco-campsite near Bantham in South Devon, compost loos and one cold outdoor shower...
