Finishing Off 2023

 A few photos to finish of 2023. Wouldn't be complete without a dog photo, here is Hugo who stole the dog trimming scissors the other day and was running around the house with them in his mouth!

 I went to Charlie's Year 12 Graduation with Bindi

I have been enjoying the view from my bedroom window, here I have some rain chains. I did buy one for a friend so will have to hand it over at some point!

Took a couple of the older ladies from our church up to the Sydney Temple just before Christmas, the flowers in the garden are just beautiful.

Finally I finished my planter box at woodwork class and recently got some flowers to plant in it, very pleased with myself.

Amy's Birthday

 

Amy turned 30 this year, she decided she would like to return to the Glenview Alpaca Farm which we visited 3 years ago for her birthday then. We had a lovely time revisiting all the animals and our host Joy was just so welcoming. We stayed the night in the cabin on the property,  got to feed the animals and brush the goats and had an Alpaca Tour as well. We enjoyed a lovely birthday dinner at the Ewe and Me Restaurant in Yass. 

The goats are hanging out for a feed

Then we had to give them a brush

Now it is time to feed the alpacas

More goat brushing the next morning

On the way home we stopped off at the Murrumbateman Chocolate Company and enjoyed a delicious iced chocolate and a yummy Turkish Delight Chocolate

Christmas 2023

 

As usual we stayed in Canberra for Christmas, cannot go anywhere with all our birds and dogs! We spent the afternoon with some Canberra friends which was just lovely. Boxing Day we had Lachlan and Abby over for toasted sandwiches and left overs. Kelly ( my niece) and her partner Nate also joined us along with Francine who was visiting Kelly.

 Amy and I made a ham to take over and one for the following day. 

In the lead up to Christmas we decorated little gingerbread houses with Bindi and Mia, I also had a friend and her daughter over and we did some as well. That has been lots of fun.

This year I made Christmas Puddings and Christmas Cakes to give as presents.
