Bombed!

I picked up these gorgeous ballerina wrought iron wall hangings last week at the opp, they are so cute. Today I hung them on the shed with my yarn bomb bike tyres and the 'licorice allsorts'bomb.

Our BIGGGGcountry!!!


We went for a BIT of a drive at the end of July, well actually BIT is an understatement, the inlaws were able to look after the farm for a short time so off we went, not much planning I might add lol but that's the way we roll.
We drove 10,000 kms in 18 days.....from mid-nsw to busso w.a over to Kalgoorlie and then back over the nulla homeward bound.


                                         in this old ute she didn't miss a beat
                                              Fred wasn't very happy to see us go
                                          Kimba self explanatory black skys in Adelaide were behind us
                                          not only treeless it was cold, windy and drizzly and went on and on and on, I passed three road trains 39metres long well that was interesting....not! I was terrified lol
                                           we went round a bend on the nulla and there was the Bight, magnificent
                                        41/2 days from home we arrived in Busselton it was great to see the
                                               grandsons they were very excited, noisy and fun! Hippy man converted
                                             the oldest boy to the Blues

                                                          and baby Z in his hippy gear, I just love these little boys and I  had missed them so much. The first morning at 5.30am there were 5 of us in the bed plus the new puppy!

                                           were in the dining room doing their school projects.
