I've had a good year with tomato's and zucchini but pretty bad for anything else. Jar and I covered out fence with bamboo and built a chicken proof gate out of garden stakes and cable ties!

Eco Expo
Ned and I went to the Eco Expo for a wander and it was so good. Heaps of great stalls and information and I signed up for a free composting course!
Ned fell in love with with this baby wallaby - we went back to this stall about 3 times so he could have more cuddles.
Fisherwoman
Jar went fishing with Pop and came home with these beauty's - as you can see we didn't waste a bit!!

In the bin film festival
We packed up our blankets, snacks, thermos's and camp chairs and headed off the the 'in the bin short film festival' that was part of the festival of arts month. It was held on an oval and was freezing but we snuggled up with hot choc and enjoyed the show. The films were fantastic and it's going to be a regular annual event for us.
Firestarter
We taught Ned how to start a fire (safely) and now he's our go to man for weekend fire sessions and will be all set if he's ever lost in the wild !!!!!

Caine's Arcade
I
just cannot get this story out of my mind! Caine’s Arcade is the creation of 9-year old
Caine who spent the summer at his dad’s used auto shop entertaining himself with
cardboard boxes. No tv’s, no video games…just
scissors, tape and cardboard boxes. It’s a reminder to myself: when we let our
kids explore and experiment in unconventional ways, truly incredible things can
happen.
