reflections of our life on the farm and beyond

Days 14 & 15

With sadness we left Broulee on Saturday morning....it is such a great spot and the kids have had a great time.  Tom has really taken to the beach and asks all the time whether he can go down with his boogie board.  Biddy was happy to scoot around the park and play with other kids.  But it was time to go.

Back in Victoria
As I mentioned in the last post, we headed out not knowing where we were going to stay as finding accommodation for just one night - Easter Saturday - was proving very tricky.  We backtracked along the Princes Hwy and eventually found a caravan park at Cann River which was basic and allowed open fires.  It wasn't freezing but considering the weather we have recently had, it was on the cool side.  So the open fire was very welcome.


I found this function on my camera that allowed me to photograph people AND the fire and these were the results!  Biddy looks like a devil girl. 

Easter Sunday and the Easter Bunny found us.  Mark and I had a chuckle at the complete reversal of conditions we find ourselves in this year compared to the same time last Easter.  On Easter Sunday last year, we were sweltering in Katherine, NT and took the kids for a cruise down the Nitmaluk Gorge.  We had to rush the chockies back in the fridge for fear of them melting everywhere even in the a/c comfort of the caravan!  No such issue this time round though!


Bella's first Easter


We headed for the Butler's place today (family in Beaconsfield) with the promise of a roast dinner (yum!).  Bernie, Emma and Monica arranged for an Easter egg hunt for the kids which they enjoyed.  I enjoyed the roast pork belly for dinner!





Home tomorrow........ :(
