The Rainmaker....

... maybe that is what my new profession should be.  This is because I seem to have brought the rain up to Roma from Melbourne with me - lol!

However the rain did not deter us from visiting the gorgeous Moorelands Bush Nursery for some morning tea and a browse around the plants.  I think that I have mentioned that my DDIL's mother loves plants.

 Freshly made scones....

 Say hello to a wonderful couple, Lisa and Brad, who run the nursery and the Feed shed (cafe) on weekends as a hobby from running a cattle farm during the week.  Our Aussie farmers are a tough breed - not only do Lisa and Brad have both the cattle farm and the nursery/cafe, they are also great parents to their two boys.  Busy lives but so kind and friendly. It was a real pleasure to have a good old yarn with them today.  Thank you, Lisa and Brad, it was really great to meet you today.

If you would like to see more photos of the nursery, I took plenty on my first visit there, in July.

Okay, signing off on my fourth post for the day - boy, am I on a roll!  I am going to go swim some laps at the Roma swimming pool - the Denise Spencer Memorial Pool - I have had too much good living lately - lol!

Farmer's Market

 TraderVic and I happened to stumble over a Farmer's Market at a local primary school yesterday morning.  This is the bounty of the Earth which we came home with:

Look at the size of those tomatoes!  And some Nicola potatoes to bake tonight!

 Last night we had this Crostata Mezza Mezza which is a frittata on a pizza base.  We had it with the lovely lettuce we bought.  Yum!

Well, the view out of my bedroom window is just getting wetter and wetter!  You know that heatwave I was complaining about the other day - it has broken and now we are having torrential rain! Careful what you wish for!

The final piece of news I have today is that Barbara of To Stitch or not to stitch is having a Happy Birthday Giveaway, you can check it out here.

Well, that is all from me, I hope that IHSW is going well for you all.

hugs,

A lovely Christmas Giveaway

Hello lovely bloggers,

Well, it must be getting close to Christmas and to kick us off, Barbara from To Stitch or not to Stitch is having a fabulously generous Christmas Giveaway.  You can check it and her lovely blog out here.

Good luck everyone!

It is a very wet day here in Eaglemont and the rain is so heavy that it is actually raining in my house!  We have had our roof and our gutters checked and rechecked by when we get a heavy rainfall from a certain direction - we have no hope and it is running around with buckets and old towels for us.  I will take some pics and update this post later.

Hope that all of you are dry,

hugs, Kaye xoxox
