Relaxed weekend in Crow's Nest

Masterchef Lorraine prepared a delicious dinner with her team of helpers, this is her overseeing the dessert selection.  She is helping out at the caravan park with her husband Ed, there daughter and son-in-law run the park and they have been lots of fun as they are parked across the road from us in their caravan.  Dinner was food for the masses, roast lamb, chicken and all the variety of vegetables and salads possible!  $20 a head was certainly a bargain!  Sheryl experienced a wonderful explanation of "what do you reckon" when she asked what was in the carafe, as it turned out it was custard, as if we all should know that custard is always served in a wine carafe!



Up close and personal with a horse!




Taking Bonnie for a walk this morning, down by the paddock of 3 horses, separated from the caravan park by a barbwire fence and our little miss decided to investigate.  Through the fence she flew, ducked low enough to avoid the barbwire and then found herself very close to the 3 giant horses!  Not sure who was in more shock, me or her, as she returned to us quite quickly!  The photos have been taken when she returned, securely put back on her lead and then reintroduced to the horses, from our side of the fence!





















































These beautiful photos are of felt work especially taken for my special cousin Joan, who also does very lovely felt work. This was in a craft shop that specialises in gourds, painted, decorated or completely natural, ready for you to decorate.  In the shop, they also had a huge mass of beads, ribbons and other craft bits and bobs!

On our return, we stopped at the Black Forest market at a group of shops including  a Cuckoo Clock shop.  Drizzling rain, cold and misty had us thinking we were back in the Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne!
























Paige is waiting for our arrival, dressed in her Easter Bunny suit!  We can't wait to see Ben, Natalie, Paige and Sienna, with out any mishap, we should arrive at the Sunshine Coast tomorrow afternoon!

  1. Hi Grant's finally had five minutes to get set up. What an 'eventful' trip you have had, dinner sounds wonderful, maybe I should join you. Beautiful felting pieces, thank you for taking the photos and posting. Didn't get to Melbourne this week, got volcanoed out and am having to go to work, very shameful. Great to read of your tales, hope it wards up soon. Love always
    Joan
