Going Bananas

I am so very excited as we have picked our first bunch of bananas.....
We have been freezing them for smoothies making cakes and just enjoying the taste of our first bananas.

I remember last year when they were hit by the frost and I thought we were never going to do any good out of them...
We have 4 more bunches to pick yet, so exciting.

Now look at them they are doing amazing.

The fact that they are between the chicken pen and shed helps a lot.
The girls love to forage through the trees as it is always so cool down here.
I never give the bananas any extra water now they are established, just the bit of rain we get does them.
Yes I am very proud of my bananas.....

But it's not all about bananas around here.

On Sunday Mum and I went to the Felton Food Festival...

We got to see Costa Georgiadis from Gardening Australia, such a funny guy to listen too.

Mum and I had some great beer and Turkish for lunch yummo!!!!!
It was a perfect day with great weather....

Today Harry gets his plaster of his little leg, so that is good news for him and his Mum & Dad...

Thought I would leave you with a pic of this little clown. hahahaha

Have a great week end....

Sieanna May Sutton.....

Hello All.
Yes I'm back from a very long break...
The reason for this break is my beatuiful new Grand daughter
Sieanna May Sutton.
Sienna is 3 weeks old now.

Chloe ended up having to have a C section so hasn't been able to do much at all once she got home.

Harrison is the best big brother....
But if you look closely you will see Harry has his leg in plaster, yep two days before Sieanna is born he broke it in two places.
So with Chloe not being able to lift any thing Harry with his sore leg things have been busy..

Jessica and girls came down to visit the new baby and while they were here Abby turned 2....

I have been learning to crochet as well and made Sieanna a little hat.
Lots of practice to do yet though..

My days have been filled with grand children and cuddles...
I do miss my little Mason so much at these times, don't you wish you could make your kids live closer!!!!! Never mind I will have to save my pennies and fly up for a trip soon I think....

Had to share this kindy photo of Mason with you...
Have a great week
Mandy
