A big busy week here on Candlestick Farm. We have had fun times with the kids. And a very big moment here for our little niece Tabitha who rode Clips for the very first time.. He was as good as gold and Tabs was quite rightfully very proud of herself!
We had some glorious weather rivalling that of any other State in Australia l am sure!
A $2 bargain from the local Tip Shop!!! Thank you Carrie! We could do with a few candlesticks around here!
We had a campfire with marshmallows for the kids
But on a more serious note the glorious weather brought several potentially serious bush fires very close to home. A wake up call for everyone as Summer approaches.
Homes weren't lost, but several shack /shanty communities out there were. Not permanent homes as WE see it but people lost all they had including possessions and cars.
We had a few surprises too! One morning we came across this little black addition to the family! Another boy though unfortunately! Nigella (Mum) is a little bit of a nervous first time Mother so this was as close as l could get to her!
And not 24 hours later we had another one! A boy as well. This one is a teeny tiny little thing with big knobbly knees. Very sweet.
And sadly as new lives enter our world ,old ones pass away.One of Mum and Dad's dogs was Archie was put down this morning. 14 years old and a well travelled little dog who started his life in England and is now peacefully buried in the orchard at their home.
RIP Archie
