Had the best day ever, met the amazingly talented #GwynPerkins best known all throughout Western Australia for #animations in these wonderful community announcements many years ago. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL660B192165B11178 . Had the greatest pleasure meeting this awesome #artist and his wonderful wife and daughter and having him sail us around in his boat and show us his up coming project. This man is a total genius, buy his books when they come out real soon. I am totally inspired by him. Thankyou very much Gwyn, we had a wonderful time and would love to spend time with you again.

My brother and his family took me out to the #icearena on the weekend to cheer us all up. It's been a very long time since I've been on #iceskates #skating at a #skatingrink. I am happy to report for the first time ever I did not fall over. #mumwouldapprove #grandparentswouldbethrilled #iceskatinginaustralia #dutchtraditions #copingwithloosingmum (at Cockburn Ice Arena)

#hawthorn #thorn #dress-pins success after a failed attempt at hawthorn needles. So I need bigger, fatter hawthorn thorns to drill larger threading eyes in. Back to the hills next weekend for thick thorns #maytree #naturesbounty #natural hawthorn, #thornapple,#whitethorn #hawberry #oldschool (at Adelaide, South Australia)

A good friend of ours has spoiled us with a beautiful #Porchini #mushroom, king of the edible #fungi, this is a lovely almost 500gm one - put the matchbox there for a size reference. Very excited about making up a meal with this! #adelaide #southaustralia #pennybun #piglet #yum #foodie #cep #smallpleasures #simplepleasures (at Adelaide, South Australia)
