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... ??
