Bark...

Remember this?

Well Niall has been so check it out now.

I had to take these photos so I can look back and remember how beautiful our bark free garden can look :-)

This is one of the culprits!

Photos, Photos and more Family Photos!

Here they are, my beautiful children.

30 years ago... do you think they have changed much? Do you know which is which?

Now to those other people in our family...

They call themselves the OUTLAWS! Well they have that spot on! One or two are more 'Outlaw-ish' than the others but once one starts... it's all on for all four of them!

Beautiful Beautiful People... how lucky are we all :-)

All together now...

One...

Two... Remy took this photo...

Taking photos of Seven Beautiful Grandchildren!... how fun can that be.

First of all you take a photo of the spot you want them to stand... without them knowing.
Take some photos of them all and when they crowd around the camera to see themselves... show them the photo you took first... Lots of fun!!

Some are ready some are not.

Everybody ready.

Some are naughty... most are angelic.

Great photo of the Grandchildren Pennie.

Here they are.

Beautiful Children :-)

A swinging Family Lunch in Manly.

If it wasn't the swings it was Swing Ball, this isn't our set, it was in the park and belonged to a young couple who were sitting on the grass near by... without us knowing it the kids started playing, we apologized but the young couple were happy for our children to play. How lovely were they :-)

Some children would much rather push the baby in the pram :-)

Photo a Day Challenge - 29.12.2014 - I need less of this...

Bark... I love the trees and I actually love the bark but I just wish it would all fall into a nice neat pile :-))) Dream away Pennie.

From Early December to late January the bark from our beautiful gum trees peels off in the most beautiful way, the texture of the bark on the trunks as it peels is just lovely and when it's all peeled off the trunks look totally different. I do love my Gums.

Photo a Day Challenge - 28.12.2014 - Book.

This is the book I wrote for the Grandchildren this year, it covers the first ten years of living on this block of land.

We had a wonderful sleep over the other night so I gave the five oldest Grandchildren their copies of the book and we read it together with the four oldest reading a page at a time... so beautiful.
