"Every night, just when the dark was softest and sleep was deepest, there came a loud noise from the end of the great room. It came from the place where the loom and spindle stood, where by day the grandmother spun and the mother wove."

This was Easter

Have tried several times to get this post up but it seems I always choose a time when the blogger people are doing maintenance and I have problems with getting the pictures to display and things to "save".....so.......174th time lucky!

Okay.....so this was Easter!
Chocolaty Yumminess! Um.....yes that is a Christmas tree, what can I say, so I wasn't well over Christmas. All Christmas decorations have now been packed up and put away!


Um....I also blew up the stove over Christmas.....so we had to get a new one. It worked out really well though, this little beauty was on special in Cowes....hehehe.......cheap delivery. Got to be better than buying it from the closest, larger, regional township which was nearly an hour's drive away. I have banned my father from using the stove, .....hmmmmm.........he's really good at burning the living daylights out of food and leaving everything greasy. He's happy to have delish meals provided for him! giggle Spoilt father!

We built the house in the early 1970s and its still decorated in its original 70s style so I felt it was important to get a replacement cooker that fitted in with the style of the home......RETRO! Wooo Hooooo, get an eyeful of that orange floral wallpaper in the kitchen...and my goodness you should see the weird plastic light fittings! All we need are a couple of Lava lamps!

The stove cooks wonderfully; does much better biccies than the 35 year old disaster that I blew up! Maybe blowing up the old one was a blessing.

Phillip Island trips are the only time my Emma Jennyanydots gets to sit in the sun......she's an indoor only cat and at home we have very limited sun sitting spots in the house. At Phillip Island she pretty much sets herself up permanently in the window.

She really does like her holidays at the beach!
