Keeping the kids busy!

How to occupy the kids I nanny for, on a cold, rainy, winters day the week before christmas, when screen-watching is rationed!?....... Why, by making a Gingerbread House of course! :D

Sticking the kit together was a mammoth task and took me about an hour - nightmare! Got there eventually though and whilst managing to prevent the disappearance of too many sweets into mouths, here's what we achieved...

O Christmas Tree...

... Oh Christmas Tree, of all the trees most lovely!

Christmas Present Day!!

Ok I know that christmas is old news but yesterday I got to use my Christmas presents! Brooke Fraser Gig Tickets and a day trip to London! As you may well remember at Christmas time I was half way round the world from Mike so that's why it happened yesterday - and that's when the gig was!

It was an AMAZING day and by far the BEST gig I've ever been too. Brooke was already my favourite musical artist ever but she really blew us away yesterday - INCREDIBLE!
We left the venue positively beaming! :D She's playing in Birmingham on the 12th April and London again on the 13th - there's still tickets - go see her!!

Oh and a lovely afternoon was had visiting the Natural History Museum funfunfun! All in all a truely lovely day! Thank you Mike! :D Here are a few piccies...

An Australian Christmas!

 

So I know I'm being a bit late and blogging this on Boxing Day but it's still Christmas in England right!? :P

So my Australian Christmas consisted of 15+ Australians, 6 dogs, hot HOT weather, an afternoon storm, water-volleyball in the dark, swimming, unexpected presents, pool competition (I lost miserably!), marjong, lovely family, wonderful company, amazing vegie/meat christmas dinner, blissful air-conditioning, skype conversations with my boy and the family in England :) :) :) and lots of fun!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!! :)
