Greetings from Victor Harbor

Hi guys,

Have just logged onto the caravan park's wifi, so after checking my emails, thought I would drop you a little line!

Arrived here last Saturday, Gavin followed me down to help put up the annex, shade & tent for Lisa & children.

Lisa decided to come down Saturday too arriving at about 9pm, the caravan park owner none too happy at being rung for an access code so she could get her car into the park!!! Oh well!

We have been going down to the beach every afternoon, once the bite from the sun is a bit less, with Sebastian the super caravan puppy dog!! Yesterday afternoon he even stood in the water without running away up to the dry sand!

Sunday morning we rode into Victor to the market (with Sebastian in my bike basket!) & bought yummy fresh local fruit & the most scrumptious popcorn I have ever tasted! After the children had about 4 tasting cups each, Lisa bought a huge $10 bag! I kept getting stopped with the cute puppy being asked if he was the one in the bike basket!

Daniel needed bread & biscuits, so in 30+ degree heat, I had to bake in the caravan - thank goodness I have airconditioning in here! Didn't matter - he was happy with his bread, blondies & carob biscuits. He will stop nagging me now for the rest of the holiday.

The caravan park has installed a jumping pillow - can we keep the children off...no way! Will have to venture up there soon and get some shots of them jumping around all over the place!

Going to the Whale Centre & over to Granite Island today & of course, back to the beach for a refreshing dip.

While I am here relaxing with the children, the floors are getting sanded & polished at home and in the rumpus room - or should I say -the new scrap room! Yeah!!
See you all soon, thank goodness the children go back to school next week - I will need that time to set up the new scrap room!!
Mandy
P.S. Don't forget there is Scrap'n'Roast on Saturday 24th (this Saturday). Email me, I will get the booking - and we could even scrap in the new room!!!!

Forever Always Recipe Scrap 7 January 2009

Had a lovely time on Wednesday night on Forever Always doing a recipe scrap with Sonia. Here's the layout I did - another for my Bali album. Have to get them finished before I go to Vietnam!!



The new scrap room is nearly finished! Gavin has just got to pull up the carpet and do the floor, then I can move in!!!!!!

See you all soon, hope you are starting to get back into the swing of things after Christmas & New Year. Keep sane during the school holidays & I will see you back at classes which start on the 29th January.
Ciao for now, Mandy
