Almond Blossom Festival

The Willunga Almond Blossom Festival is held every year in the last week of July, just as it has been since 1969. 


Since that very first festival, over 40 years ago, more than $1million has been raised for the Willunga Recreation Park and the associated sporting and community clubs. Sunday morning after our soccer match we were ready to head down to Willunga. 


My three lovelies ready for the fair!





We picked up miss Daisy on the way

The girls were stopped and photographed by the newspaper! Say cheeeeese!

They got to pat some cool dogs (that later showed us some tricks)

They watched sheep shearing...

...and even got to be hands on with the cut wool

Elliot got to bring some wool back home

We're saving it in a jar, so now we got medicine if anyone gets earache!

Ponyrides! Yay!

The dogs knew a lot of tricks!

And they were super fast!

Clever dogs!

Best buddies!

Elliot found this pug and asked the owner if she could take a photo with him.
She has asked pappa if she can have two please?

Milla ordered herself a woodfired pizza for lunch

And it came in a tiny box! 

Agnes ordered honey soy chicken and rice

Tropical; ham and pineapple. She ate the entire pizza!

They decided to have a go at the bubble-experience! 

Elliot was first up - here she is being 'inflated'

All done! Let's roll!


Agnes is rolling in!






No fair without fairy floss!

The girls found a froggy-mailbox and decided to kiss him...you know, just in case :D

We had a lovely day as always in Willunga. Here is the newspaper with the girls' picture in it:

Christmas in July

Southern hemisphere seasons are in reverse to the northern hemisphere, with summer falling in December and January and winter falling in June and July. Therefore in southern hemisphere countries such as Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, Christmas in July or Midwinter Christmas events are undertaken in order to have Christmas with a winter feel in common with the northern hemisphere!  

On Saturday we were off to celebrate Christmas in July with our neighbours and friends - we were about 15 families with HEAPS of kids! My oh my did we have a lot of fun and good food!!!

We have loaded the bike with kids and food and desserts - we're off for Christmas!


Anita had even decorated the Christmas tree, yooohoooo!

On the way home late at night; empty plates, full kids and giggles galore!
Merry Christmas in July everyone!!!

Girls night out! Yay!

We've had an eventful weekend! First up was a girls night out at the:


We watched 'Jeg er Din', which I highly recommend! I thoroughly enjoyed it - so full of emotions, highs and lows, about living between cultures.

It is nice with a cinema serving wine...
Afterwards we went out for dinner and 'skravle-tid'....aaaaahhhh! Long overdue!

Group-selfie!


Brrrrr, det er kaldt i Adelaide nå midtvinters!!!
