The week that was

Posted on May 21, 2013October 30, 2026 by Libby Withnall

It was the week of lots of lovely early morning walks by the lake…

and it was the week of lunch out with my Mum, Granny and Auntie…

It was the week Kevin bought me all this Goldie stuff…

and the week I finally made it back into the scrapbook room and made a start on my Germany smashbook….

It was the week the girls made and decorated cookies….together….

Can you guess who’s is who?

It was the week Amy attended Comic Gong- a comic convention in Wollongong on Satuday….

and on Sunday Kevin took her up to Sydney to the Doctor Who pop-up shop….

It was the week Kevin decided to remove the overgrown plants at the front of the house….looks so bare now….

and it was the week he left the plants on the grass….

It was the week of dark green polish…

then a change to pink….

And it was the week of sleeping puppies….Bailey…

Rosie…

and together…. Aren’t they just too cute?

Saturday morning walk

Posted on May 21, 2013October 30, 2026 by Libby Withnall

On Saturday morning, we had to drop Amy in town, so we took the opportunity to do our normal longer Saturday morning walk by the beach. Even though it’s late Autumn, it was absolutely glorious out.

We had planned to do our walk first, then let the dogs have a play at the beach, but Bailey was not having that.

While Bailey ran in the water and all over the beach, Rosie got busy digging a big hole.

By the time she finished the hole was almost as big as she is.

Once we tuckered them out a bit we went on our walk. I haven’t been here for probably a year – which really is a crime since it’s only 15mins from our home.

There was not a single cloud in the sky today.

Don’t we live in a gorgeous part of the world?

This is the main harbour where lots of people like to picnic. We used the bring the girls here a lot when they were younger.

Do you have a special place like this close to home that you hardly ever visit?

Trying to do a bit of catch up on blogs I missed last week, and get back onto my somewhat regular schedule. To help speed things up, and because I can no longer remember the details of last Tuesday, I think this will be a day in the life in photos with a one line description, where needed.

Germany Vlogs – Days 1 -4

Posted on May 18, 2013October 30, 2026 by Libby Withnall

Sorry you haven’t heard from me all week. In addition to getting a new routine with daily exercise and time in the kitchen to prepare healthy foods, I also had blog problems with getting photos into my posts… which are still ongoing. In the meantime here are the first 4 days of the vlogs from Germany.
