Travelling Granny...............

Hello to those that still follow me...

Ever since I closed the shop I have been away spending time with the Grand children.

Bruce and Will call me the Travelling Granny.....

I spent some time in Glen Morgan with Billy and MacGregor, as Cassie was not well.

I am so pleased I am able to now and go out and help my children when they need me.

When I got home it was time to give the caravan a good clean and make over.

I decided to make the van more me. Lots of vintage sheets to add color...

New cushions and a wall hanging....An amazing macrame curtain and I was happy with how it all came together.   Then it was time to hook up and head north to Charters Towers.

We were going to stop the night but Bruce and Will decided we would drive straight through.....

All going slightly stir crazy by Belyando Crossing, which is 2 hours from Charters...

We got there just on sunset, so good to see my big boy.....We spent a week looking after Mason and Phoebe as Karen was away with netball. O how I loved spending this time with them...

Then it was back in the van this time with David, Karen, Mason and Phoebe. First stop 

The Beach...We spent 10 days together holidaying....

Road tripping..

Beach walking, cave exploring and lots of relaxing....

3 weeks we spent up north and I know for sure it is some thing I want to spend more time doing.

 Back home and then I took Mum out to Warwick for Jumpers and Jazz....

Next stop

Goondiwindi........It was friendship day at Abby and Graces school so I went out to enjoy the day at school with them....I was only there 3 days but it was nice to spend time with them...

So you can see why the boys call me the travelling Granny hahahaha....

I am home for a while now as I also have to be Mum to Will who is still at school. This handsome young man is half way through year 11 now.....Time where has it gone....

I hope you enjoyed that Quick tour with me....I will leave you with some pics 8 year old Grace took of her self on my camera...These will be kept for her 21st hahahaha

Easter......

I'm sure every blog starts the same....It's been awhile since I was on here....

Hahahaha true though...

This Easter 

Bruce, Robbie, Will and myself drove over night up to Charters Towers

to see No 1 son....We got there in time for Breakfast Good Friday...

Had a wonderful time having all 3 sons together, this is something that I love and never happens near enough..

Phoebe and Mason are growing up so fast, and I had lots of granny time with them.

My little Mason is the most lovable affectionate little boy, he always is giving me cuddles and I miss them already.

This one is the spitting image of her Dad..And only has eyes for her Dad as

well....So much fun to be able to spend time loving on grandchildren isn't it...

Maddy turned 1 in March

I still call her our Miracle baby, not a day goes by when

I am not thankful for how perfect she is.

God is good.

And in exciting news

I got a new car....The kids nearly had a fit when i got it

and still tease me about it....This is not a people mover its a furniture mover hahaha.

With The Old Dairy shop jumping ahead in leaps and bounds I needed a bigger vehicle to fit

more in....It will get its first real road test this week as hopefully we are heading down to Tenterfield.

The gardens are looking lovely though dry, Bruce put a little tank on

the cubby to catch more rain water. It is so cute looks like it's always been there.

The Elder flowers are doing so well, can't wait to make elder flower cordial next summer.

And wine too..

Until next time...

Where have I been the last 6 weeks

Not home...

The last 6 weeks has seen me out and about

a lot.

First I spent a couple of days with my Mum.

We went to the open gardens in Maleny. This was a feast for a gardeners eyes.

All these photos were taken in the one garden, after that I was so busy looking I forgot to take some photos.

Then we headed out to visit the girls out west.

First a overnight stop at Alanah & Cams in Dalby

And Charlie of course...This one is so cheeky, and look at those 

Blue eyes..

Then we moved on to Glen Morgan to Cassie and Ben's...

To what is my dream house....hahah.

We took over Ben's saddle making studio.

To the scapbooking studio... I took all my supplies out and Cassie and I had a great time getting some much needed scrapbooking done. I just happened to leave it all out there when I left, guess I will have to go back.

We got the old wood stove working as it was cold and wet out there.

I taught Cassie how to cook on the stove and it has been going since..

 Love these old stoves for cooking.

Jessica came for a visit to Cassie's as well.

Henry

Henry is growing so fast as are the girls.

Abby

Abby and Grace doing some painting like there Mum.

Grace

Hid and seek is always a favorite game with Uncle Will in the old homestead as there is so many places to hide.

Hide & seek

 Soon it was time to say goodbye to Cassie and head back home.

Another stop at Dalby on the way home for a couple of nights.

Charlie

Morning cuddles 

then back home for a little while...

Before long I got the phone call 

That number 8 grand child was here...

William & David

But you will have to wait to meet her until the next post.

Blessings
