Pink Party

Yesterday afternoon, we had a party in the orchard for my sister’s 10th birthday.
She had a few friends over to help celebrate, and we all had a lovely time playing games, eating the delicious party food, and opening presents.
Here are some photos...

Musk Lollies
Cucumber Sandwiches
The beautiful table in the orchard

The Birthday Girl and her friends

Pink lemonade!

Sally was under the table, waiting for some manna to drop from Heaven

3-legged races in the garden, which somehow turned into a hopping contest!

Happy Spring!

The Manchurian Pear is awash in white
Snowdrops are poking their delicate heads out of the warm soil
Jonquils spread their delicious fragrance through our garden
The soft droning of bees fills the blossoming orchard

My favourite time of
the year has finally arrived.
Happy Spring!

Birthday party!!

Last week, my sister Hannah turned 8!
She invited a few friends over and we celebrated with a party in our orchard
We baked a 'White Chocolate and Strawberry Gateau' for Hannah's birthday cake
And I made this cute pink bunting-
It was a lovely afternoon!

Our Snow Holiday...



In late September my family and I drove down to the Snowy Mountains where we stayed for 5 days. It was such a lovely time! We stayed in a beautiful big home, which used to be a post office.
This is the view from out the back door-isn't it pretty?

It was spring, but there was still plenty of snow! Some of us went tobogganing...


And some of us (including me!) went skiing...

Here are a few other pictures of the place where we stayed.



And this maze we went to was a lot of fun. :D It took a while to get through!

It was a fantastic holiday!!!

Spring again!!!








It is spring again! The flowers are blooming, the bees are humming busily, and outside, there is a blue and sunny sky. Here a few pictures I took of some of our lovely flowers.
