Day Seventy Four

Huey Thurling cooking up a storm of schnitzel on a bed of rice with a butter chicken sauce.. mind you he only turns it on for guests, lucky we have company quite often!

Day Seventy Three

Not being an animal person myself, I really do love the majestic and graceful beauty of horses. I love this photo of Bella on the horse with all the dust flying everywhere, it just captures the moment so perfectly.

Day Seventy Two

Finding all the fun things about our new house! Like the fact that the basin is so wide that we can stand side by side and brush our teeth together!

Day Seventy One

Today we got to move into our new (well newly renovated!) house!! This is our first dinner at our new house, and believe it or not I cooked it! It is the eighth time I have moved in eight years so I hope to be staying a long time! We are happy with the renovations and I am glad we decided to fix it up and give it our own personal touch, It feels much more like a home instead of just a house.

Day Seventy

Today we headed off to the ledgendary Captain's Flat, to commemerate the 50th anniversary of the closing of the Mine. My Pop once worked in the Mine there, many years ago with his brother's and friend's. It was an interesting lesson into the history of the area and my family. My Pop read a poem he had written about the Mine at a small service that was held. We saw this pretty bridge and stream flowing at the front of someone's property as we drove past and thought it looked beautiful, I could imagine small children playing in it as their Mothers made their dinner and waited for their husbands to walk home from the Mine.

Day Sixty Nine

Cuddle time on the lounge with my sick baby girl.

Day Sixty Eight

Mum used left over lamb from last night's roast to make these delicious flap jacks. It was a recipe that her mother used to make for her. I also like the plate which I think belonged to her Mother, I always like using it when she makes me pancakes. I wonder if I'll ever cook any of her recipes one day .. time will tell!
