Cold, cold winter

Today I woke up and it was freezing, FREEZING cold, and, there was snow on the mountain, which wasn't so suprising seeing I spotted snow clouds yesterday evening.
So today, Robin is here, looking after the younger kids.
I am supposed to be doing my narration from" Annies coming out", but it just isn't happening, I can't concentrate on the book enough to remember it all!
Today I should have a load of Fashion designing books coming through the library today! YAY!
It sounds like Metta is having the time of her life! I think she crossed the channel to France last night! Lucky thing!
Missy's birthday in a coupl'a days, she's pretty excited about getting her licence, don't blame her! I got her this WAY COOL pair of boots, so I'm sorta exited too!
Guess I'd better get back to my narration now, UGH!

For a walk at Stoodly

Hello!

Yesterday Talithia, our friends Remo and Belz and I went for a walk from the beech forest, down to "our forest" which is around a forty-five minute walk from our house.

We went to the caves, and ate our picnic lunch by the waterfall, and went to go visit Jiles, which, is a cute little hut made out of logs laid against a hollowed out old, HUGE tree stump. So here are some photos for you:

This one is of Talithia trying to save me from falling over the waterfall, even though I was perfectly stable where I was.

Bit of a blurry one, but it is Remo, Belz and Talithia on top of one of the caves.
Me, checking out the cool, old and crushed, deserted car that is usually underwater.
An amazing purple mushroom we saw on the way to the caves.

Okey-dokey I'll a be off now, enjoy the rest of your day, and soak in the sunshine!

Hello,

Yesterday Zac, Talithia and I went Laser Skirmishing, with some friends, altogether there was 32 of us. It was the most fun ever, and if you haven't heard of Laser Skirmish, I'll try my best to explain in for you, the group is split equally in half, and you run off into the thick bush, with your laser guns, which, on the scope, have a little red laser light. And you have a army suit on, with a cap or giggle hat, and on the hat is the sensor, which is just like one sensor velcro'ed on your forehead with a cord leading to the other sensor on the back of your head, and then the cord leads down to your gun. You would aim for the sensor on their head, obviously.

Apart from that, on Saturday we went down to visit Zac, who has just begun renting a cottage in Lillydale. And, well, not all that much really.

Bye,

Serena,

Hello,

It is pelting with rain at the moment, ugh, I really hate the rain, everyone says how comporting it sounds as you lay in bed, but to me it is the opposite, it makes me feel unsettled.

Mum is teaching Ella-Grace and Daniel their phonics, I hear h-a-y-c-h and h hhhhhhh.

Easter was really nice, on easter sunday we we sat around the fire eating, Easter eggs, bacon, eggs, and baked beans, yummy.

And then later in the afternoon Zac and Nina planted Easter eggs, over the beech trees' in the Stoodly forest, which, I might add, on the other side of the road, is looking quite ugly because, it is being logged, grrr........

Alright I'd better be off, sorry it's such a short post,

Thanks for reading,

Photo's

Hey Guys!

I've got some photos for you today. About time too!

Right now I look outside the window and I see beautifully light raindrops falling from the smoky, cloudy sky.

Mum has Zola Van piano music playing at the moment although I'm not sure if she can even hear it as she is vacuuming , James is playing with his wooden train, (Hmm.. What am I going to get him for his present?) And everyone else is happily lazing around.

Summer is defiantly one of my favourite seasons, hot, sunny, and cloudless skies. But we're not getting much of that warm weather, more like 20 degrees with a cloudy sky and damp grass.

I havent been to raspberries very much in the past week, not enough berries to pick and often damp.

Okay I think it's time for the photos:

To start off with is Thomas beside the bean patch.

This is just how thick the smoke was up here the other day,

It came from a nearby fire.

Okay, I'd better be off now,
