Week 4

Friday: kicked the week off with a woderful performance in the parklands by Windmill Company and some lovely friends to enjoy it with. The kids absolutely loved it and we perched ourselves under the big trees on our picnic blanket and were enthralled by the performance. Only bettered by mega tasty gelato and coffee afterwards...




Saturday: a lovely lazy day in the garden and a lovely walk at dusk complete with wagon to collect interesting things along the way and fairy wings...


Sunday: we headed to the Crush Festival in the Adelaide Hills and enjoyed a day of beautiful wines and food and company. Mini-bused it up and back so was a really relaxing day. No photos of us up there but one of my beautiful agapanthas at home with food colouring added to the water to give a beautiful effect to the flower heads. Part of my new years resolution was to have fresh flowers in the house every week and so far so good...


Monday: we arrived at Pt Willunga for a mini holiday with some friends and were quick to hit the beach to cool off...


Tuesday: and along with the rest of Adelaide, we headed back down to the beach at Aldinga. With a 9:30 start on the beach we managed to secure a great spot. We had a top set up with cars, TripleJJJ Hottest 100 blaring, plentiful food platters, beach cricket, sand castle building equipment and a few bevvies to wash it all down with. I was honestly gobsmacked at the amount of cars on the beach- so many that they even had to close the beach to others wanting to come down! It was crazy.




Wednesday: Day off and off to the wonderful playground at Glenelg near the Buffalo overlooking the boats in the wharf. One of our favourites...


Thursday: another super busy day at work, a little comic relief at dinner time...


Till next week...

  1. Wow busy week! Love that photo of your agapanthus - did you put the food colouring in the vase water, or did you water the whole plant in the garden with food-colouring coloured water?
