Funtime

A great evening's play with SSMBA at Funtime Menai, where Olivia was in the thick of the action with Beatrix, Lily and Harper (who was in the helicopter much of the night, hence her absence from this photo...)

Feeling posh

Toffee lips

 After a competitive game of soccer the best place to relax is at Meggie's markets - Bea and Mum

 So many ways to eat a toffee apple - at Kyah's party - Beatrix

Smart Art

A great day at AGNSW with lots of new things to see...

 ....and our regular readers will be pleased to hear that Elioth Gruner's "Spring Frost" is back from Bathurst and now has some friends in the new collection section - lovely - including one of the Murrumbidgee, part of Clare and Mum's old stomping grounds!

Lily & Harper

Harper and her Monet

We went to the Art Gallery of NSW today and as we were walking out of the front door at home Harper asked "Can we see a Claude Monet painting," with Lily chiming in with "and some poppies?".  Thank you James Mayhew.

 

(PS it is in fact a Camille Pissaro.  Harper was not sufficiently taken by Monet's "Antibes" despite Mum, Anna and Noah going there at Easter in 2002 and climbing the very fort depicted therein!)

Harper very handy in the garden - Pa surely I started the same age?

Perfect beach weather!

Minyon Falls

Finally, a beautiful day to head into first the Whian Whian Conservation Area and then the Nightcap National Parks.

A short walk into the Minyon Falls - the noise was amazing and the glimpse of the valley floor 104m below had Mum grabbing the back of our shirts...

1981 revisited

OK so Mum is reminiscing about some photo Pa and Gran took in the summer of '81 ... apparently they came on holidays to Watago's and have been regretting not purchasing the house ever since?

With rain clearing in the afternoon

 And on the fifth day, there was sun

 

...but still not warm enough for smart people to go further than knee deep...

Boggy in Bangalow

So of course we had to have a pub lunch complete with open fire (well we had to leave the one at home for something!)
