Four, Five, Six

We were lucky enough to spend this weekend camping with great friends (Charlie and Charlotte pictured here searching for possums). The kids had a smashing time exploring, checking out the river and eating loads of marshmallows.

I decided not to take a watch, declaring myself free of its constraints, choosing instead to do as I pleased when I pleased. As a consequence, I think I drove everyone crazy asking what time it was, and we very nearly fed the kids their dinner at 4pm! So now I have been awake since 4.30am, thanks to Charlie, the white cockatoos and kookaburras, and I am are very much looking forward to my own bed tonight.

The second night camping Ben treated us all to a camp-oven verison of Butter Chicken, rice and naan bread. There are no words to describe how it tasted, but I can guarantee even Matt Preston would be impressed! Now to try to recreate the recipe...

And finally, my littlest Ladybug has discovered the camera. She likes to smile, but at the same time lean forward and peer into the lens. So most photos of her these days look a bit like this, unless I can catch her unaware!
