A couple more pictures from our stay at Rosedale
Our holiday to Rosedale
We were lucky enough to have a week on the coast just south of Bateman's Bay where we stayed in the beautiful surrounds of Rosedale. Here's a short video of our stay there.
Soundtrack is by Jay Lagaaia (Audrey's favourite at the moment!)

Separated at Birth
I haven't done one of these for a while, but saw this on Private Eye and thought it was pretty clever.

Enlighten Festival
Together with our friends Barb, Simon and their son Jack we went to Canberra’s Enlighten Festival.
It’s an excellent event comprising some of Canberra’s most significant buildings entirely lit up with rotating (and sometimes animated) images. In addition the fountain that runs down from the High Court was lit (with kerosene flames) and provided a fabulous back-drop to things.
The night was wet when we started and our planned picnic ended up being eaten while sat under the cover of the National Gallery. After eating we found that inside the gallery was a huge craft/art event laid on for kids and Audrey delighted in drawing a lady dressed in Peruvian clothes (there’s a gold from Peru exhibition on at the moment).
Afterwards we walked from the National Gallery through to the National Library, watching lit up dancing ‘horses’ – fabulous in the dark. The wet evening failed to dampen everyone’s enthusiasm. We stayed for a couple of hours – there was much more we didn’t see – there was a tent somewhere with bands playing for free – but bedtimes dictated we head home from what was an enlightening(!) event.

Trevor and Superman on the 'silver bike'
We have a tow along bike which both the kids love.
I was inspired to purchase one (courtesy of Aldi) as my brother Graham had them for his kids in the States (I distinctly remember his kids trying to lean the opposite way in an attempt to get me to fall off).
Fortunately neither Audrey or Eli have got wise to this trick yet!

An early crop
There's still plenty of veggies still left in the ground, but we harvested a courgette/zucchini and our first carrot this afternoon.
