WOWS ABOUND




Camper heaven

This weekend was such FUN! Saturday morning Samuel had footy training, I took Christy for a run/ride from Chiswick Bridge to Twickenham Bridge along the river. She is SO good at running next to the bike on the lead! wow.
Then we went to an art gallery in South Kensington - just behind Harrods to see Banksy selling his graffiti artworks for £50,000-60,000!!! wow.

Love Rat by Banksy



Then we prepared our house and food for the first bbq of the year. We had over 5 families for dinner - 14 kids!! Unfortunately Jeff was away for the weekend and he is an absolute master at bbqing on the Webber and none of these aussie men could cook on real fire - whats THAT about?? wow. Anyway, everyone had a great time, it was so relaxed - last guests leaving at 10:30, it was 12 by the time I had mopped the floors...

Honey with her 4 sweet kittens



This morning we went to Rebeccas, her cat had kittens on Tuesday and we got to pet them today - wow! It was very sweet watching the kittens and petting them - with one finger only. The kids loved it.


On the way home we stopped in at Volksworld for the afternoon. The annual VW show - oh my, we had a really good time there, drooling. The kids spent their savings to add to their Vdub collection.



how is that side kombi side car??

Then when we got home we planted our first seeds, chillis, basil and cucumbers - to germinate indoors. This week we will also divide up the 4ftsq vege garden into 16 1ft squares and start some seeds directly into the soil. I think the last of the frost/snow is over...(hope).

On the equinox I bought us all a new pair of gloves for gardening and a bird feeder with a load of seed for the little blue tits and robins who are busy nesting now.


This evening we watched "My Little Sunshine", not exactly suitable for young kiddies, but its real life and we LAUGHED. Mainly because we could relate to the Kombi issues! hehe.
