Emma's New Baby

 Emma finally delivered the little cherry on the world.

She was 2 weeks late and 9lb.

Hope to see her soon.

Upgraded Parking Area

Parking at House has always been an issue.  

When we moved in, the Carport was falling down and only room for one car. 

And that one couldn't turn around.

First , I enlarged the area at the end of driveway by removing a tree.

So we could park two car. but could not turn around.

Reversing in and out was Pain.

So Stephen Rota came was his Digger and dug out the old carport area for two cars.

Now two cars can park there.

But events would stuff us up.

Jennifer now has work van.

But at least we can now turn around in the driveway.

Paulines Family is Growing

Pauline's Family is growing. She recently sent a photo of all her little babies.

Man are they growing fast.

 

HobbySew Knox is now running

Hobbysew on the 6th of September finally opened.

It took almost 3 weeks from scratch to finish.

Both Jennifer and myself worked with the team to make it happen,

it was great achievement for us all.

 

New Driveway parking is going in.

 

Brother Rota came in on Tuesday to cutout the new carpark on the side of the driveway.

There were some large bolders that needed to be be buried and moved.

All was going well

We believe the maps that said the utilities were a Metre from the fence

Well they weren't, it appears they were 3 metres from the fence.

So now I have to get a plumber in to fix a bent pipe.

But he foundations are now none, 

Now comes that rest of the work.

Evelyns Birthday Party

 After the long drive to Mudgee, finally, Gemma got to put on the Party for Evelyn. Turning 5 is special, so it had to be a big party.

So the Royal Rodeo was started.

It started with the Banner and Photo's

The Cake had been purchased in Melbourne, and put together by Gemma on the day. 

And it went so Well

The food was eaten and cake cutting went without a hitch.

Then was play time with your inflatable horse and balloons.

Now thats a party.

Magnus had issues with his Cowboy hat, so Pop Pop fixed that for him.

Evelyn enjoyed herself so much. Gemma-ann did a Great job......

The birthday girl had a smile that lasted days.

Evelyn tried Jalapino Chips.

Evelyn saw that Dad had Jalapino Chips. so She wanted to try them.

I told her to have some water ready,  

The result was No tears , but that she didn't like them.

Good on her for trying them.

Pop Pop arrives in Mudgee

 When we got to Mudgee, Magnus and Evelyn help us unpack. And out came the presents.

Magnus found the lollipop's and they were allowed them after Dinner.

Fairy Wrens in the Garden

I have been working hard in the garden on fine days cleaning the wood from the fallen trees.

Around me would be the firy wrens feeding, they are very small and hard to photograph.

I sat still one and let them get close. Click click and I had a few Photo's of these bouncy little birds.

 

40th Wedding Anniversary

 Well, to me surprise and many other, we finally made it to 40years being Married.

We went out for small dinner at Pig and Whistle. Disappointed at the food, but still a good evening.

40 Years is a LONG TIME.

Mum and Nara.

 Nara has reached 4 years old. and so has settled and become very relaxed.

Still insists on a walk in the Morning, and the play before bedtime, but loves a cuddle.

Yellow-Footed Antechinus in the backyard.

It has been about 3 years since we found out we have Yellow-Footed Antechinus in the backyard, but I have never been able to get photo's of them. While I finally got one.

We have two pairs living under the Ferns in the Backyard.

Glad to see them ocassionily. 

 

Jennifer is another year older and bolder.

 Jennifer had her Birthday again, it's strange how they keep popping up.

She got winter Scraf and dinner ut at Sky High ,

The scraf was the better one.

This is the one the them being modeled by Nara.

Great view but the food was not upto the high price.

But what a view.
 

 

 

 

Cold Winters Morning over Silvan.

 Each morning I take Nara out for walk.

Short walk in winter

But this mornign the view was over the moon.

 

Gemma down Sick with Covid.

Gemma-ann went down with Covid, so she asked us to take care of Luna.

So was to be with us for 11 Days...

But she is Nara's best dog friend... 

 

 

Finially got in the laast of tree down.

 Finally after almost a year, I got the tree cleaned.

Sliced it ready for firewood.

Still have the root ball to think about but now I can fix the wall.

 

 

Grandchildern can be cute

I started to play with AI and found this, One taken with me and evelyn when we were out for walk.

meanwhile Magnus got his new Winter coat from Grandma.  He looks so cute in it.

 

Winter is Here, and it's cold.

 Home is normally about 3-6 degrees below what the city is.

During summer, we enjoy it.

During Winter, and the fire is light early, just to keep home warm.
