Grab-bag

Dear Great Gran,

Here's a grab-bag collection of photos from recent happenings at home, Melbourne and Sydney:

Here's two cousins playing together:
and some other cousins looking at Andrew's travel pics...
a rainy day robot...
a duet with mini-guitar and electric organ in bassanova mode

and some fun with you!

Tuross Falls

Dear Great Gran,

we spent a weekend camping at Tuross Falls recently, this is the view from the lookout:

and the following link is to a superior photo from the same position (but in the rain!) by our tour guide David:

Pippa and Buttons at the look out

And back at home, with a dashing red Gumnut baby Flynn

much love

Pirate Girl!

Dear Great Gran,
Recently seen at the Gong:

'Hoist the main sail, ship's monkey!'

Naval gazing with binoculars: 'Giant barnacles on deck, Captain!'

Keeping a lookout with improvised binoculars...

...and with no binoculars.

When Buttons was playing with some older children at beach, the 8 year old saw a cargo ship pulling out from the steelworks and he called 'Look out there! A container tanker!' and his 3 year old brother corrected him, saying 'It's a sailing ship!' but Buttons contradicted them all with 'No, it's a pirate ship!'

love from
Brendan
