One week of school holidays has passed. Although it feels like we have spend most of our time in our pyjamas, taking a well needed break from the many responsibilities. Looking back on my photo’s from the last week, it’s telling a different story....
At Govita, you’ll find me as a local and plastic free alternative.
An interview and photo shoot with the local newspaper.
A promotion for our soccer club, where I share the role of Treasurer and Registrar with Sally.
Time is ticking for the upcoming carnival, 3 more weeks and its all wrapped up. Just getting through the next couple of weeks.
My first ride on Chester, he was a total gentleman.
He’s like this big, fluffy teddy bear, who loves his cuddles.
Happily playing Lego together, on my bed.
He organised a party for his friends, which we found out when the parents started ringing!
So we made good on it. Crackers, cheese and wine for the parents, while the kids played outside, easy! And a walk trough our forest, where the kids decided it was time for a swim...
Home made crackers and pumpkin soup sweeten the deal...
Peach blossoms, hearing all the bees buzz is a wonderfull start to the day.
He’s very competitive...
“Going Nuts” is rather accurate and fits well alongside my “Nuts! Granola”.
These cinnamon roasted macadamias are totally addictive.
We are so lucky with the wide variety of food that we can grow in our beautiful valley: sea food, to prime beef, dairy, sugar, olives, nuts, fruit, including massive blueberry growers, native foods, edible flowers and vegetables. And then of course all those that create foods and drinks, sourdough bakers, ice-cream, granola, cheese, wine, beer and cured meats. Turns out that the Clarence Valley is one of the major national producers, but is hardly know as such. But that is about to change, it spotlight has been turned on...

Oh cracking up laughing at David organising his party!!!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea about the CV being a major national producer either! Know we have a few organic beef options but that is about it! Most interested to know more
