Moving House

As you would be aware from Nathan & Julz blog that they have moved from Toowoomba Qld to Echuca in good old Victoria, so Ma ma & Pa thought that it was too good an opportunity to welcome them back into Vic by going to help them get settled into their new home.
Lots of boxes to unpack & finding a home for everything was a challenge but good fun.

Thanks Nathan & Julz for a great weekend.

A 'dishwasher" now how does it work? (you would think an engineer would know, huh?)

Couldn't keep Pop (Wal) out of the garden for long. Just loves his dirt!

Even had time for some father & son moments!


Lexie doing what she does best, helping to unpack & finding a good use for her dad's boxers.

AND the 2nd most important family member is happy with his new home & yard. He has even checked out the neighbourhood & found his way home. Welcome to Victoria Tyson!

Bella and her babes

Bella gave birth to 8 gorgeous little pups about 2 weeks ago. She decided to have them over in the woolshed in amongst the wool. A good place on these chilly autumn nights. They are developing their own little characters now that they have their eyes open & discovering what this world has to offer. Fun times ahead. Bella's breautiful brood. 8 of them

Belle is making sure that I look after them. They keep getting out of their box just so they can play with me.

Really I'm helping dad, but this little one keeps getting in the way!
See the broom behind me I'm doin my bit.

Bowls Anyone?

Friday evening the Ladies Fellowship group had a night at the bowling green. Ma ma, Pa, Matt, Kara, Jack, Jason & Warren went in for a night of fun. It hasn't convinced us to take it up as a Sat avo sport. Not old enought yet!!

Matt demonstrating his technique and or style

Pa & Darren having a discussion on who's is the closest, with Warren not sure as to who is kidding who?

Jason got into the swing of it as well, sending down some good bowls.

Ma ma's list of jobs

Pa had some time to spare so Ma ma made sure he put it to good use!

Pa oiling the outdoor setting. It looks fantastic & takes pride of place in the patio.

Pa & Matt also got the house & rumpus room jacked up & level again. The doors now shut!!

Jack & Toby

Our two little chaps came to visit the other Sunday.

OK, enough chatter, come on Ma ma where's the food? I'm starving!! These fingers just don't cut it anymore!

Toby is having some quality time with Pa & taking in the chit chat on the recent happenings.

Rest & Relaxation

With the harvest done, Christmas & New Year out of the way & all the family having left it was time for Ma ma & Pa to have a few days down on the Bellarine Peninsula. Lots of sleep-in's, lazying about & doing almost nothing. (it was really hard!!) We had a very relaxing time away.

Here is Pa at the Ford Discovery Centre looking at Mr. Ford's 1st car

(we just had to visit that place just 'cos Pa loves his ford's)

On our return trip home, Pa decided to go along the Great Ocean Road.

A beautiful part of our fantastic country.

The spectacular coast line.

Farm yard capers

The girls loved nothing better than to take a stroll around the yard to suss out what Pa & Uncle Matt were up to. They had fun looking about & giving some advice on the farming matters!

Move over Uncle Matt, I've got this all covered.

The Semi was here..............

Hey Lexie, were did you go?

Who needs sand when you can have any type of grain to play in!

OK that's the yard all sorted. Time to go. Pa, don't lose that list of all those repair jobs that need to be done. See ya next time we visit.
