P365 – Day 358 – getting ready for Santa (and year in review 5/12)
I know I’m a bit ‘bah humbug’ about Christmas, and this year it feels like it’s snuck up on me faster than usual and I’ve been so busy that I haven’t got organised and just haven’t felt very festive at all. But this hasn’t stopped Juniordwarf, and his excitement...
P365 – Day 351 – the unchristmas tree

P365 – Day 309 – Oatlands (05/11/2011)
A while ago, on a trip back home from somewhere, we stopped in Oatlands for lunch. We didn’t have time to have a good look at the town but saw there were a few interesting little places that we thought might be fun to explore. So we decided to...
