Perth

 Two weeks ago we flew to Perth to visit the family. So special to see their home and school and to spend some precious time with them. We saw a bit of Perth too on a walking tour on Wednesday and enjoyed a concert in the Cathedral. We also managed to see the boys' school and them playing sport etc. On Friday we went to the assembly and saw Benny playing in the band.

We also visited the closest beach to them.

On Monday we headed to Margaret River and visited the Karri forest and Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse which was very interesting. We also went to Busselton, Dunsborough and a winery too. 

When we returned to Perth we watched the boys play soccer and on Friday, Amy and I went to High tea in a very high (33 storeys high) restaurant, which was fun.

Stitching and family

 I have been doing a little stitching.I seem to be a little unmotivated but am enjoying working on some smaller projects. I have been doing a bit of cross stitch.

I also used some leftover fabric to make a bag for the Wool winding swift. Works much better than the box.

Lovely to see Roni's gorgeous show and tell yesterday. She has been very busy!

Alice and family had a wonderful holiday at Dolphin Point last week. They go with other families (like we did many years ago!) and have such a lovely time. They also tried out their new caravan.

Alice and I went to Old Parliament House (MOAD Museum of Australian Democracy) on Monday. We had a lovely time learning lots about government. We also had yummy morning tea.

Here are our boys in winter uniform.....even though it was going to be 32 degrees. 

Quilts and Cutting Cloth

 There were some amazing quilts at AQC. Here are just a few.

On Saturday we had an adventure and caught the bus and train to Cutting Cloth. It was so worth the visit.

We also enjoyed choosing some cakes at Brunettis. Such a lovely selection. There was a Brunettis just up the road in Lygon St and one in Myer in the city. We also had several dinners at Papa Gino's near to our apartment. It was great value and very delicious.

Here are my purchases!!! So many lovely things to tempt us.
