We've enjoyed another Grandchild visit and look what happened!

 The Fairy Garden has had some additions, a hideout made from leaves and bark plus... what every Fairy Garden needs... a Laundry Chute!!!!   That little Choir Boy looks as though he may be the first to slide down.

Here's the one who thought of the additions 💕💕💕

 The ingredients in Vegemite fascinate intrigue and sometimes disgust some people!

Below is a jar of Vegemite was bought in Macao, I couldn't wait to get home to see what the Supermarket had crossed off this jar.
 Doesn't look too evil to me... ??
