Old Photos

Nothing much of any significance has been happening in the Frost Household this week. Lachlan is on holidays from Uni- well he still has two exams and handed in an assignment this week, but he tends to not emerge till the early afternoon! Amy has school and assessments due and we have had all our weekends away so there is not much news to report. I have embarked on a project- to organise all my digital photos. I have been going through and deleting photos and trying to organise them into more logical folders and just tidy everything up! This will keep me busy for ages I think. However it brings back memories of different holidays and times in our lives so in some ways it is quite fun! I found these photos of the kids when they were younger playing in the garden and also when they decided to dress Sarkule up in Amy's dressing gown and slippers! They used to be so cute! Lachlan only has a week of being a teenager left- where has the time gone?

Breakfast from the Victoria Market

Sunday morning while Amy was having a sleep in I went for a walk along the Yarra and then wandered down to the Victoria Markets. I love wandering the aisles of the food hall and looking at all the cheeses, breads, cakes, dips and goodies. Brought some fresh fruit, bread and dips for our brunch and took them back to the hotel and woke Amy up!

Dinner in Footscray and Desert in Lygon Street

Saturday night Amy and I caught the train out to Footscray, where we meet my mum, 3 of my brothers and their family and had a family dinner to celebrate my sister in law- Arlene, becoming an Australian citizen. We had a lovely dinner and it was nice to catch up with everyone. Amy and I got a lift back into the city but we had to go via Lygon Street to get a gelato- so we just had to go along with the crowd!

Melbourne Trams and Buildings

I enjoyed going for a walk around the streets of Melbourne, exploring the little arcades, and catching the trams. I like Melbourne- especially when the weather was so nice- couldn't complain about Melbourne weather for once.

Hot Chocolate at the Lindt Cafe

We were catching the Skybus up to our hotel to drop of our luggage and wondered if Melbourne had a Lindt Cafe, a few minutes later we drove past the Lindt Cafe on Collins Street, just across the road from the Block Arcade which houses the Haighs Chocolate Shop so we had to call in sample its wares! We then headed up to the Melbourne Museum to see the Exhibition. It was very crowded but we got to see everything and really enjoyed it.

Tutankhamun and the Cheese Shop

Amy and I had a weekend down in Melbourne to see the Tutankhamun exhibition at the Melbourne Museum and catch up with family to celebrate my sister in law becoming an Australian citizen. We caught the plane down Saturday morning, stayed the night in the city at the Stamford Plaza in Little Collins Street, and caught the plane back early Sunday evening. We were only gone one night, but it seemed a lot longer than that and we had a great time. The highlights for Amy was the Tutankhamun Exhibition and then the visit to the Richmond Hill Cheese Shop and the tastings!

Scones, Jam and Cream

Lachlan wanted some scones during the week, so I told him that if he wanted them, he needed to make them. I would help him, so we had a scone making lesson last week and this is what he produced. We all sampled them and decided he had done a good job!
