One Day in ....October...oops!

What happened to September?
Where did it go?

So much for my blog post every day.

With school holidays I just could not do it.

Sorry!

Still have lots to share but just didnt have 

the time over the last few weeks.

So....here's what we did today

We whisked oursleves off the France for the day!

The Paris to Provence Festival is on at Como House.

What a perfect spring day in Melbourne.

The weather was glorious.

The girls just loved it.

From a few french giggles with Marie Antoinette and a cheeky Gendarme,

to the browine samples they scoffed down!

Our older girls learn French at school and they had just been involved in a

French Festival last term so they loved seeing the 

mimes again and practising a few french words.

All the yummy food stalls filled with croissants, pain de chocolat, macarons, crusty baguettes, duck pies, pates, terrines....

Delish!

There are lots of other stalls and kids activities, 

but the best fun our kids had was climbing the humungous fig tree.

It looks just like the Magic Faraway Tree!

If you get a chance to pop down tomorrow before the 

Grand Final replay...do

Natalie found me hanging around here!

Cute bag!

One Day in September - Day 20

I know I have already posted about Spring has sprung

but

I couldnt resist sharing more of the beautiful flowers in our garden.

The freesias have finally bloomed and their gorgeous scent 

wafts around everywhere.

The old people who we bought this house from many moons ago 

planted drifts of freesias and they still flower prolifically each year.

The house is full of vases overloaded with freesias.

The girls have been busy!

The camelia tree I posted about a few weeks ago is actually drooping

with the weight of all the pretty, perfectly symmetrical pink blooms.

The huge hot pink Rhoddy is also in full bloom.

The best it has been for years.

The Verbena tree has cute snow balls of tiny flowers

which smell lovely too.

We still have the roses to go.

These should be ready about Melbourne Cup time.

I love this time of year!

If only the sun would shine little bit more.
