Grafton Show 2010

Last night the family and I went to the 144th Grafton Show :)

As always i had some entries in teh Handmade pavillion and came away with a 1st for hand spinning and a HIghly Commended for my Green/Noro Cardi ! YAY Me !!

The kids had an awesome time riding the kiddies rides

Jarvis my big Biker boy with a Vintage " Indian" Motorcycle, he thought this was so gas !!!

He was a little afraid of the baby animals, they were

stampeding for the cup of food that daddy had.

Lilli on the other hand has obviously picked up some animal handling skills by hanging out on the farm with poppy on a regular basis :)

and if anyone is wondering where i get the crazy from, yeah , it's my mum !

Romance

My gorgeous husband took me on a date today, we left our kids with Nanny and Poppy for the afternoon and went and saw a movie and had dinner out, the fisrt time in months we have spent time alone and it was wonderful, we took a walk on the jetty, held hands and laughed together, i feel truly blessed to share my life with such a great guy :)

what i learnt from Courtney B

For my birthday this year Miss Courtney gave me a beautiful hand made photo album, after spending the morning crafting with her today i returned home and decided it was time to begin putting my little families memories in to order.

Miss C these are for you my dear xx
