a MOTHERS DAY outing

Just a short post & few pics 'cause i'm "one handed" at the moment ...

Had a wonderful day starting with a yummy breakfast and lots of gorgeous presents; a mixture of shopping and gifts from the school Mother's Day Stall (so cute) but the most special being a hand stitched placemat with "i love u mum" done in needlework/embroidery (a school project) .... just melts your heart !!

Then we set off for a driving day (along with my mum & dad) up & around 'Barrington Tops'.

Mum + Blake


Us ... (i worked out how to use the timer) !



We stopped at a lovely little park at Stroud and enjoyed a homebaked morning tea; and once up in the National Park had a BBQ sausage sizzle with yummy damper!

The drive through Barrington Tops was beautiful .... a long journey but beautiful ... all the way through to the other side to Scone!!

One of the things i love is seeing wildlife in their natural enviroment.

some of these ...


and these (a bit blurry but i'm sure you can see it's a kookabura LOL !!)


and you know your in the country when you have to stop for these gorgeous things ...



Feeling good after breathing in all that fresh country air :O) ... off for a shower, pj's and an early night.

Hope all you super women (aka - mothers) had a wonderful day.
