Busy in November

November has been a busy month. We are very lucky to have Nanny Pat and Grandad here with us from the UK :-)
Boncie and I made these mince pies from the mince we made earlier this year Here's the mince
We also made shortbreads

I've found the best butter in the World!! It's simply the best taste for baking such things as shortbread and cakes


Boncie and I also made this Victoria sponge

Another shot!
And another shot while it was being built!!
Fabric I purchased to make Boncie some shorts

Beautiful Xmas cards I purchased while in Mt Macedon....these are 100% friendly to the earth so they get our thumbs up!


Nanny Pat and Grandad gave Boncie his new bunk beds for his Birthday. He LOVES them so much - he could not stop telling us all how much he loved them!!!! Thank you Nanny Pat and Grandad
Happy little sleeper!
Building the beds
More sewing
Nanny Pat has been teaching me how to make shorts from scratch!! Here's where we are up to.

November Bits and Pieces

Boncie with his hair freshly cut and his new shirt on - waiting for Daddy on platform 2!! Being a robot I'm told!

So cute in his new Industry t from Nanny Nolsy xx

Before the hair cut!
Cheeky little man
Playing with the light saber
With Daddy ready to head to a Cup Day party
Playing at his local park
making plum pies
Double up here!!
Up on the station again being a robot!
Take 2!!

Poor Alley Cat jumped up on the bench just as I was sparking the gas hobbs - he is now missing a few whiskers and some of them are rather Dali like! Went to a fab craft market in North Melbourne where our beautiful friend Cath was selling her clever creations. Picked up this Mobble Gobble (Cath's business) top and matching hair ties for Emily. Boncie also picked up a beautiful hand made flower broach made by Dusty (shown above the top below) - thank you clever ladies :-)


Also picked up this original 1969 kids shirt which was still in its pack! Boncie doesn't look so impressed below wearing it but it looks ace on!

Our House :-)

We have sold our house to a lovely couple and their little girl, who are moving to Yarraville from Prahran. We hope you love Yarraville and our house as much as we have :-)
We have purchased a new house in Mount Macedon! Here are the front gates leading into a horse shoe drive way to our new house carport in front garden
Lamp post in the front yard
Pond and bridge thing in the front yard
This is our new house in Mount Macedon - It's amazing how much more you get for your $$ out in the Macedon Ranges - even in Mount Macedon, compared with Yarraville. Yarraville is however only 5km's from the city, compared with here which is approx. 50km's......this is a pic we took from the back of our backyard, looking at the back of our house - Boncie LOVES the slide!!!!!! One of the many trees in our yard
Boncie checking it all out
Neighbour - sure to be mates with Tobe

Neighbours - hello ladies!!
