Isabellas present was a hit but the opening and closing door feature was so popular that I think Freiya thought she could climb inside too and it was demolished within minutes. Her Mum is now restoring this feature and the activity book should be back in her toy selection box soon.
Special guest from the Buckland Gang was Michael having survived the terrible bush fires and now faced with managing the Xmas day BBQ.
What a cold day it was, the coldest on record in fact it snowed on the hills. Weired weather.
Tradition is the "Lemon Tree Picture" taken each year under the lemon tree.
Poor tree was struggling this year with the drought. Missing from pic is Isabella who is living in Byron Bay and not able to make it for "Festivas"
Standing in for Isabella is Crystal from Canberra my niece down here for a visit.

Late Saturday afternoon Grandpa took the "Bundle" to Heatherton to see Mr Horse. Mr Horse was very glad to meet Bundlie so much that he gave her a nudge and pushed her over.
Today the city was covered with smoke all day long from the many fires burning in the highlands in eastern Victoria.

Princess Freiya validating the taste sensation of Vanilla Yogurt from the constellation of Jalna

A "Flash Visit" from Aunt Elizabeth to visit Princess Freiya on the Melbournian World resulted in a morning breakfast on the ragged cliffs overlooking Port Phillip Bay.

Grand daughter Freiya in a pensive mood has had a cold for a couple of weeks and not a "happy chappie" is allowed to go outside by her mum. She is checking on the botanical situation resulting from water restrictions being in force due to the the drought.
She concluded that as long as she was allowed a swimming pool on the back porch during summer we could all do what we wanted.
Link to her very own life story




Here is a first time meeting with the Pennefather Family. We all met for lunch at a hotel in a small country town called Bangalow. Seated from left to right Isabella,Hassanah,Goldi, & Justin standing is Dougall and myself.
Dougall had an amazing dessert made with Kaffir Lime leaves that was "outta here."

Here is the brother-in-laws farm house, he lives a valley that is completly isolated from the rest of the world he calls it "night-time in the big valley" just to tease me. He has a stil, wears a straw hat and carries a pitchfork. Also I hear he might be considering a rocking chair in the future for the verandah. LOL!!

This sunset was worth waiting for, however I noticed that Mr Pixel Shader would never do justice to the subtle colours that were in left in my memory.
I recommend a trip to Byron Bay to anyone.
If you dont know where that is you are living in the wrong country
