Summer Kitchen

On Monday we got a little brochure in the letter box to say they were opening their cafe and bakery.  So off we walked to the newest bakery in town which is within walking distance from home.  We chatted with John and Maree and meet Juha who made the best coffee it was great.  By the end of the week between the two of us we had visted four times.  

Natures way

Having a broody hen was finally a blessing.  I put 6 fertilised eggs under her and she sat there for 25 days, two eggs broke early on, three hatched into chicks and one was left cold and didn't hatch.  I was certainly very happy discovering a chick every two days.  I go down to visit them now on a  daily basis and mum has it all under control.  She'll scratch the ground looking for food and when she has she'll call them over. After some time of being active she'll sit down and they'll just disappear under her to keep warm. Natures way is fantastic!

Huonville

One of a few Christmas parties that we'll be attending in the lead up to Christmas was held at the Huonville rotunda, considering it had rained all day it was nice to see a rainbow and blue sky for a few moments. The valley looks nice with hay bales around the place.
