They just wanted vegies

So that's what we gave them.

At 11.15pm.

The adventurers from India and Nepal were back and we would have cooked anything for them.

 

We have hardly seen them since then!

Except for a quick trip to the Garden of St Erth in Blackwood on Saturday afternoon.

So much to love about this place....

 

 

A lovely place to go to be inspired. 

It's soul food for me.....

 

 

Not to mention the delicious food at the cafe there.

And their mantelpiece arrangements.

Vegies in a vase!

 

 

Around the garden path at Frogpond farm.

Another super sized sunflower spectacle.

Zucchini flowers still flowering. 

 

 

The birds have found the crabapples too.....we have five different varieties here. They are such tough little trees and produce the most beautiful fruit.

A peek through the white netting over the fig tree.....

 

I have told Bill that we're not leaving this place until the feijoa trees become a hedge around the orchard.....

 

Safe to say that won't be for a while.....

Bill decided we needed an extra bay in the compost department ( probably just wanted to build something )......there's always something that pops up in the compost pile that just seems to take on a life of its own. Not even sure what this is yet. Pumpkin? Cucumber? Gourd? Rockmelon? Watermelon?

 

Repairs to our grassed area under the trees.

 Some digging up of roots and rocks, a layer of soil and some fresh lawn seed. 

There will be no bird seed pecking or rabbit burrowing with this lot!

 

There was a story to tell during FaceTime.

It involved connecting power to the robot so that it could be turned off for the night.

 

 

 

We celebrated Bill Snr's birthday in Geelong at the weekend.

He turned 89.

 

The family photo at Sue's place.

Right then, now we're ready! 

 

This time last week.

An early morning flight over Mount Everest.

A few days later... 

Back in Australia and off to a party.

 Their feet haven't hit the ground yet.

 

But now it's back to work.

Have a wonderful week everyone.
