A day at Bobbin Head with Grand daddad

Friday 28 October

 We started the day with a coffee.

Amelia loves baby chino

Grand daddad love macchiato

she was not afraid to touch the exhibition

(they were a bit moth eaten)

looking for turtles

and one came to say hello

We can see the bridge over the mangrove.

We will go there this afternoon.

we saw kangaroos

then we went for a play at the playground.

I blew up the ball and a little boy came

to kick it with Amelia

 after lunch Amelia went for a ride

and a bit more play

catch me if you can

Then on to the bridge and the boardwalk

over the mangroves

spotting crabs

having a rest

the photo above and below are taken by

Amelia.

At the top I was telling her to lift the camera

and to move her finger.

She is amazing

she is singing

back for more play.

she does not want to leave

we had a supper day.



Shopping

Thursday 27 October

She was up at 6 am

wanting to go to the shops

Please can we go?

first we stopped at a park near the

shopping centre

she decided to carry my bag.

It is as big as she is.

We bought a dress "at the shops!!!)

(here I had a video of her paying the drum and

walking around but I had to cancel it as it did not

seen to upload

after her nap we spent time in the garden

After her bath, while I was preparing dinner

she did a bit of painting



Pre school pick up

Wednesday 26 October

This morning Shane and Jo (and Joshua)

are gone to the Hunter valley for a few days

with some friends.

Amelia will be staying with us until Sunday

I picked her up at her pre school.

At first she was very chatty.

Ask me about dinner?

I told her we were having chicken as she like it.

She insisted that we had to go to the shops.

I told her that I already have the chicken at home.

Then I said: We will go to the shops tomorrow!

She was very happy with that.

(thanks Jo)

Yes apparently when Amelia wants to go to the shops

Jo tell her that she can go with grand ma.!

Why does she like the shops so much?

Then the car was silent.

Must have been a busy day.

Tertini

They put their wine in French oak casks

 degustation

They have some Pink Lady apple cider.

We bought some to try at home.

We had a very nice lunch:lasagna and salad

and sticky date pudding with ice cream

Me in front of Bou.saada

we did not like their wines.

sitting arrangement made of old wine barrels

but I can't)

This is Howards Lane vineyard.

The owners are very friendly people.

Bus back home.

We had a wonderful day with nice people,

not too much wine and nice food.

Visit to Milson Point and North Sydney

Saturday 22 October

We went to Milson point to check out the

parking facilities and find out the train

timetable for tomorrow morning.



there was a market.

Claude bought some French crepe

(he did not like it)

We went for a walk along the shore.

They have made a beautiful long path.

When we lived in North Sydney we used to

walk there but the path was not so long and so nice.

 The old swimming pool

decorations of the pool

 we went and look at Luna park

Along that part of the path there were

a lot of little statues

This one was in a park

We had a very nice walk and planned to do it

again and this time take a picnic too.
