And Then There Were Three

 Lachlan has a new address! With some help from the mum and dad bank Lachlan has been able to move into his own home.He has been saving hard for a long time. Settlement was on Friday and he is now a resident in a lovely little cul de sac in Bank. We helped him move in over the weekend- still plenty of stuff from home to take over. I am sure he will just love the peace and quiet and a bird free zone inside the house. It is a three bedroom, one bathroom and perhaps most importantly a double garage! I wonder if he will let me come for a sleepover,

August and September Catch Up

 August and September Happenings

Amy and Beau hanging out together, he always wants to know what is going on.

Did a day trip out to Crookwell with some friends, found this cool little metal snail sculpture and added a shell I had to make him look rather authentic I think,

Any time Amy has overnight oats for breakfast Beau and Lyra always want to share- breakfast with the birds for sure.

Jack and I out for a stroll with the pram- he howls if we leave him behind.

I am having fun with my fairy garden

 Did a day trip to Cooma and had a lovely time exploring with my friends, it was a beautiful spring day and a lovely day for a drive. Had lunch with a friend who is setting up a bed and breakfast- the lunch she cooked was just lovely.

There has been much activity in the laneway behind our house in the last two weeks, looks like it will be going on for another 4 weeks. ICON Water is making improvments to the storm water drains.

They have taken down our fence and relocated it off site ( they will replace it and some point) and have put in temporary fencing. We usually have a digger or excavtor parked out there at night, it is a pity we don't have any little kids around to watch them at work. Lachlan used to sleep with his plastic digger as a little kid!

Our house from the back

I recently spent 5 nights out at Murrumbateman housesitting for a friend, I had Teddy the Jack Russell for compnay, and chooks and horses to feed. I had a lovley quiet time and really needed time to just chill out and do not much for a bit and just worry about me.

I had instrucions of how to feed the horses each day- breakfast in the morning and dinner at night and managed to cope with that.

I enjoyed sitting by the fire each night and reading or watching the Tour De France

My friend loves horses and Amy brought this little black horse for her which we left on the window sill she spotted it straight away on arriving home.

On the way home a friend and I did the One Tree Hill walk at Hall- great day for a walk and a lovely walk to boot as well.

Merimbula with the Mam Fam

Bindi and the kids were hoping to head to Melbourne in the school holidays but with the lockdown that was off the cards so they came down to Merimbula with Amy and I on the last weekend of the holidays. We stayed in a 3 bedroom apartment that had nice views over the lake. We had a lovely relaxing time. We drove down Friday morning, had hoped to visit the Bega Cheese Factory but because of COVID it was closed, so headed on to Merimbula and after settling in to our apartment went for a walk along the boardwalk around the lake.

This tree in the mangroves looked pretty spectacular

I enjoyed early morning walks around the lake

On the Saturday we headed out to some wetlands near Pambula and then headed up into the hills to the Goodenia Rainforest Walk. It seemed a lot longer than 1.2km down into some lovely rainforest then back up the hill. It was a lovely spot and lots of lovely sounds including birds and the trickling of water flowing through the forest.

We enjoyed a lovely picnic lunch in the sun once we got back up to the car park.

On Sunday morning we headed out to the beach and had a walk along the beach before heading back to Canberra. Lovely weather and lovely company.

Birds, Birds and More Birds

Some photos of the birds and what we they have been up to recently!

Here they are inside a big box, they had fun chewing the cardboard and we had fun watching them try to get out!

Bill often fall asleep on Amy's bed with the birds on him- not very good for his skin but you can't tell him.

Beau needs his hoodie when he goes out in winter but he doesn't like it very much, but he does look cute.

Here he is ready for his walk. He loves going outside and has escaped a few times and sits out on top of the bird avairy, he makes a beeline for the sliding door when we open it so need to be very careful that we shut it and keep an eye on him when we are heading out the door.

Amy has a game on her phone- Bird B and B which has an ecelctus parrot in it a Beau look a like, Amy was trying to get a photo of Beau with the phone eclectus.
