The kids had a great time participating, but at 1pm we left school and went home early. It was so nice to let them go home earlier than normal, especially on a Friday afternoon!

Roadside clean-up



Yearly roadside clean-up...

Couldn't walk past this chair and a second one 
which had made its way to the next pile next door! 



Two chairs with plenty of patina - just the way I like it!

Eats and Beats


Once a month Eats and Beats are somewhere in our area. 
We arrived about an hour before closing time, so we missed the big crowd.

Lots of food options and live music


Did I mention lots of food options?!
Here's Lily with the most scrumptious calamari on offer.

Free Dress Day 2018


Once a term or so, the school organises a Free Dress Day, when the kids are allowed to go to school without school uniforms and instead wear normal every day clothes. They still have to be sun smart. In return the students give a gold coin to the school.


Peace Out!


My two ♥

Home Sweet Home


For years I have been looking for artificial pussy willow sprigs - and finally, the other day when I went in to the store Bed Bath and Table, there they were! We always used to bring pussy willows indoors when I grew up. Every Spring we had them in a vase in the kitchen. For me, that was Spring!

Today when I had some spare time between buses, I went and had a look at the news agency and finally the February issue of Country Living had arrived. Yeah, February issue... Normally we are only one month behind on the imported British magazines, but this year it's been ridiculous. We are almost in April and the January issues are still on the shelves. Anyway, that wasn't what I was going to write about. Got a bit sidetracked...


Look at magazine cover and the the pussy willow stems! 
It feels like I'm on the right track with my Spring decor this year.
I just love the look of the simplicity of nature's beauty.

Hope you all will have a lovely Thursday.
Did I mention it's the last day of the school week - and school term?!
Wooohoo, the Easter holidays are nearly here!
