Well another week down, another week filled with sad news, another passing….when will it end?.
All I hope for is that the 2nd half of this year is a HUGE improvement on the first.
Here is a little reminder that the world can still be a beautiful place, even with all this sadness.
This is always the first of my camellia bushes to flower. Its the one that my late beagle Josh is helping along to provide such stunning flowers. He always was impatient!.

Last weekend the boys and I whipped up this little beauties, choc/orange cupcakes. As you can probably tell the boys were in charge of the decorating.
They did go down a treat and lets just say that not many survived long enough to get into the cake tin.
Glad to say we had nearly 20mm of rain today. It was much appreciated. The gardens were due for some water. It was mighty cold as well. Seemed to spend all day dodging showers and not very successfully I might add. Finally managed to get a clothes line up under my pergola (thanks Stevie xxx) so atleast I can try and catch up on some washing. Even when its not raining the washing seems to get damp from the cold before it has a chance to dry.
Riley has had another up and down week. This is how he spends a large portion of his day….
Seriously… this child is driving me round the bend. These tantrums are usually over NOTHING and I mean NOTHING. Sometimes its because I didnt reverse the car into a car parking space??? because I turned left when driving and he wanted to go right??? because “some people are going to the shops are we’re not”???, because I said no he cant have lollies straight after breakfast???…. you get my drift. I think this one was because I told him to stop sitting on his sister. He is making everyday that little more challenging at the moment. Dont get me wrong, I adore this child and he is so loving when he is in a good mood. Here he is not 2 minutes earlier (love those freckles).
This is what happens when Matilda misses her afternoon nap. Usually when she gets tired she gets the grizzles and lets you know its time for bed but this day there was no warning. One minute she was playing and the next….
She was so cute, it was a shame to wake her for her dinner.
Finally got the scrapping supplies out and finished the page I started last week. Will share soon (need daylight to take picture of it 
) I used some interesting material on this one.
Have a happy, safe and enjoyable weekend.
