We've had 30 minutes of rain that turmed to delicate, fluttering, snow! We were told we could have snow in August or September because we're 500m above sealevel, here, but I didn't quite believe it. Mind you, the icey deck I slipped on should have been a clue. The snow is mostly gone after 10 minutes … Continue reading SNOW!!!!

Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show 2017
I wasn't going to go but I'd been looking forward to, and saving up for, the Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show all year, so I went and I'm glad I did.

Luckily, … Continue reading The House Hunt is Over!
We’re home!
We're home in Melbourne! The last few days in Bangkok were some of my best, despite being incredibly stressful. Between tidying and organizing all the little things one has to in preparation for the locusts' (the packers') arrival at 9am on Monday, there were lots of goodbyes - more than I would have thought, for feeling … Continue reading We’re home!
