Home grown roast potatoes, Christians parmesan cheese paprika roasted zucchinis and finally my scarlet runner beans all went down to mt Martha for the Easter feast.
Matt and Belinda and the kids arrived. Wendy was already there when we arrived and Christian and cassie turned up last – having got lost – not sure how they managed this as they have been coming down to mt Martha for years.
Ian and I picked up Simon on the way down. We stopped off for ians obligatory 2nd coffee of the morning and picked up a chocolate crayfish at the same shop to take for Stella and tony.
Ian and I have stayed down for the night – and indulged in fish and chips for tea. Midsomer murders was the TV viewing for the night. We have lost daylight savings so it is getting dark too early now but ian and I managed a walk down to the foreshore before tea.
Emily arrived via Bendigo and Beaumaris. The clutch on her car is playing up and getting in and out of gear is entertaining so I gather – we are all hoping that her car lasts until the end of the year when hopefully she will be gainfully employed and can afford a loan otherwise the bank of grahyde may have to come out of retirement – yet again.
Ant and jess and krumm didn’t come down as they are spending Easter in Blackwood with jess’s family. We went up there for Saturday morning – we watched the blackwood easter parade and then went down to the carnival. It was quite entertaining for a small community of about 300. There were many out of towners at the carnival. We managed to find 2 camels – a finger puppet and a bag. Wendy did remarkably well – she found an old camel – thermos we think – I definitely don’t have one of those. Well done Wendy
Ant then took us a walk along the creek and to the springs – fizzy water coming out of the ground – very odd.
We are off to chaddie today to catch up with ians mother and then we will do a shop at Chadstone.
