A few British treats for the weekend from our local supermarket. I haven't had Razzles before as I'm not a fan of sour lollies. I thought Leah would enjoy those.

Nanny you will be forever in my heart. You were the most amazing mother and grandmother. Not a day goes by when I don't think of you. I miss our phonecalls, our family history chats and just you. There are no words that can say how much you are missed.

As a family we are trying to make an effort to eat out once a month and try somewhere new each time.
Last week, we were all tired after a busy week so decided to go to a local hotel for dinner. We went to the Courthouse.
Kady had been there before with Nicks family and enjoyed her meal. We weren't disappointed. The meals were lovely and the service was fast and fantastic.

J and I have been here many years ago but we thought it would be fun to take the family and let them try it out.
We started off in Kady's little Festiva first and here are the results. All three cars had a go. Lots of fun.

Although a really wet weekend we still all had a great time. The music lineup was good but it would have been nice to have a little more country. Friday night the lineup included Suzie Quatro, Sunny Cowgirls, Adam Harvey, Beccy Cole, McAlister/Kemp, Tori Darke and Saturday's lineup included Mental as Anything, Icehouse, Eskimo Joe, Guy Sebastian, Adam Brand, Troy Cassar-Daly and Luke Dickens.

This year I did. It was so much fun. Our legs were a little wobbley at the end but we did it and we won our heat. We came third overall.
My niece Courtny (aged 14) took part and did a great job. Well done girls. It was hard work in all that mud.

Day One
We arrived early afternoon to set up the site for the muster.
Deniliquin had 40 mls of rain before we arrived and the entire site was flooded. Whilst there we had another 18ml.
On first inspection we wondered how we would set up with so much water everywhere, where we would sleep and if anyone would even bother turnin up to the muster when it was so wet.

J, had the urge to go to Taco Bill's and we were all excited. The last time we went to Taco Bill's was just after I finished my treatment. We ate at the Warrnambool Taco Bill's and it was amazing.
This time however wasn't as nice. Kady and I ordered Fajitta's and they were lovely. Most of the other dishes just looked like slop on a plate.
