Here we go!!!

Looks like we will finally be starting this week.  The builder is going to start the excavating this week.
Really hoping it doesn't rain constantly for the next few months.
Steve Martin said on It's Complicated that starting a build in the rain is good luck!!!
All I know is that when that first dig into the ground is done I am popping the champagne
 (any excuse really)

We spent a lovely few days at my parents in the Coff's area.
Went to the beach and just relaxed.
Woke up to this every morning.


On the last night I went outside and spotted a little flashing light in the bush.
I took my Mum out and discovered that they were  Fire Flies.
The kids came outside and all of a sudden there were hundreds dancing around the 
garden. The bushes looked like they had flashing fairy lights in them.
The kids spent the next half an hour dancing around the garden with them, 
it was quite magical.
I tried to get some photos but was too dark.

On the way home I popped into a cute little country shop just to have a look and 
ended up walking out with a few little purchases including another white jug
to add to my collection for the new kitchen.

I am a little obsessed with white and white and pewter jugs and bowls.


























Have a lovely weekend,

A little Quiet Time

I am now looking forward to moving more than ever.
My son said we should rename our street, Construction Street, as they knock down house after house and replace it with 2 long narrow queenslander replicas.
So I have about 5 sites all banging nail guns, men shouting, drills going and each of them listening to a different radio station at full volume.


I arrived home this morning after dropping the kids to tennis the dog to the vet (again) and a very unpleasant trip to the shops with my tantrum throwing three year old, feeling a little frazzled.
I made a coffee and opened up my issue of this months Country Style magazine that I managed to grab between screams, and a very appropriate gift was with the magazine.




So to keep my sanity I keep this vision in my head.




Fingers crossed that the plans go through quickly.

Happy Monday
