getting much better in the pool

Here is a movie of G mastering the breast-stroke, it is exhausting getting all those limbs co-ordinate so he has done a great job here swimming a width of the pool!! ps filmed by big sister so a bit wobbly!

a parade in fancy dress at school

Schools Literacy and Numeracy week Kicked off with a parade in fancy dress, G is in the clone trooper suit having an awesome time giving hi-5s to everyone and anyone!

a walk around the winter garden....

 Seedlings are starting to speed up their growth, to my delight as I don't like seeing bare patches of earth and then tend to overplant!

 Corriander - never eaten so much of it!

 Beetroots i did thin out but they are looking a bit overcrowded already

 lots of lovely fresh tasty green leaves for salads

 spring bulbs splashing their vibrant colours around the garden

 If I had to pick one flower to have in the garden it would have to be the xmas rose

 blueberries waiting to be planted out

 front garden farm!

 Oranges galore!!!

miniature daffs!!

Well its been a longtime since we last visited

 A weekend spent in Healesville a visit to the animal sanctury was wonderful last time we visited G was only a few weeks old and big G about 4!!

 Will get me one of these in a few decades and wear it as proudly as this Manna gum tree....
