Ethan's Birthday

On our way to Cowaramup ....stopped at the Dunsborough Market which was very interesting...

Mobile book shop...

Happy 6th Birthday Ethan....he can read his own cards now....

He was impressed with the remote control truck ....Will made a beeline to look at the new book...

Polly, Asha and Max arrived....Michelle and I did some drawing with the girls ....

The girls were following a Utube video on how to draw a dog... well that's good to know...

Happy chappy ....

Such a delicious ice cream cake .....

A walk in the bush block behind Tasha's house ....this flower is stunning...

Tash, Pete and I pulled out some weeds while the boys played soccer....I don't miss my garden now that I can enjoy Tash and Todd's occasionally...it is really looking beautiful...

The kids loved having Auntie Mimi visit ...Rusty did too...

 

WAVES, WILDFLOWERS AND WHALES

Walk from Dunsborough to Shelley Cove

Michelle and Pete on the track....

Watching the whales....

Pete and I loved having Michelle walk with us ....

I think I am my happiest when I am on a beach ....

Thanks Michelle for taking our photo...

See the whales ??

Snack stop with a glorious view...Meelup

...checking their map ....Eagle Bay ....Michelle kept us on the right track.

So many wildflowers ....

....climbing the hill over to Bunker Bay....

I love this photo that a kind lady that we met on the track took for us....

Bunker Bay....

These rocks looked like a modern sculpture...

Such a clear day...and we had the beach to ourselves...

Shelley Cove....such an enjoyable walk...

Cheeky monkey....he just loves these magnets...

We had a delicious dinner at Tash and Todd's.......

A duet with Will...with Ethan watching carefully...a very happy moment...

Bedtime stories with Flynn ...Pete snuck in and took the photo...

 

Down south again....this time for Ethan's birthday and also to catch up with Michelle who has flown over for a visit. Pete and I met Tash, Flynn and Michelle at Vasse Farmers' Market for lunch ... 

Pete and I visited Castle Rock in the afternoon ...over the years we would go fishing with the kids here whenever we came down south....very pretty area...

....it was a glorious afternoon....

....beautiful sky too....

 

Jeremy and Paul ....nearing the end of their European holiday.... they have been posting some brilliant photos which ate and I have appreciated.

 

Mandy and Graeme's beautiful front garden....

On our way to another artist's studio I noticed this sign....Great! ....

I was astounded at how well made and attractive the quilts were...made by ladies that live in Dunsborough and surrounding towns...

A scrap quilt ....very cleverly put together and very eye-catching....

So beautiful....

There was such a variety of quilts....

This quilt took years to make ....the hand sewn hexagons are so small...amazing...

Another delightful studio .....belonging to Heidi Emma ....when Pete and I entered the room we knew we would find what we were looking for...

We loved her work ...

Homeward bound ....

What we bought ....the two original paintings and print were painted by Heidi Emma and the pottery was from Stefanie Stokes' studio.
