This and that!!

Well, here I am ready and waiting for the new year to begin. December has just been a big whirlwind for me with lots of Christmas functions, family visits, harvesting on the farm and most exciting of all…..leasing our farm so we are hoping 2014 brings with it lots of great times, travel and generally the next step in our life.
I have a selection of photos from around the beachhouse that have been taken over the last few weeks. I will leave you in peace to enjoy them!!

Le Beau Day Spa

I have been enjoying our mid-semester break from work. Daughter No 2 and her two beautiful little girls joined me at the beachhouse for a few ‘girly’ days. We had a lovely time…. eating out, drinking wine, walking and of course, shopping!! After 3 days I went onto stay in the city with Daughter No 1 and her darling boys and enjoyed some ‘me’ time. (I have been working very hard on the farm these last few weeks so I really needed some TLC!). I spent an enjoyable afternoon at a wonderful day spa and indulged in a massage, facial and a pedicure. Just what I needed ready for the lovely warm weather we are starting to enjoy. Today I had another quick trip to the city (600 km round trip!) to take my dear Mum for some specialist appointments. Once we start to get a little older health problems start to get a little complicated. Today, however, the results were better than what we had been expecting so for that we are very grateful.
Here are a few quick pics I took at the day spa. I just loved the fish bowls on the wall above where I was having my pedicure. At first I thought they were lights….just shows how old I’m getting!!

When I returned home for the weekend we were joined by our gorgeous son and his fiance for the weekend. So much fun…they came to do a final ‘crop inspection’ before harvest begins and we had a meal at our local pub and talked wedding plans. Such a delight to spend time with all my kids last week!!

Red hot summer on it’s way

We had a short visit to the city on the weekend. Mr FH’s mate was having a dinner at the casino to celebrate his 60th birthday and we had the pleasure of attending. It was so lovely to have the opportunity to dress up a little. I took these photos (on my phone, after a few champagnes!!) of our meals. Mr FH had the Black Angus steak with mushroom ravioli and I had the barramundi (the safest option I thought seeing I still have only a temporary front tooth!!) and it was beautiful. I forgot to take snaps of the entree – Mr FH had pumpkin soup and I had spinach tortellini – yummy…..I love Italian food!! Our dessert was a cherry ripe cheesecake. We had such a fun night and didn’t get to bed until nearly 3. These late night take a little more getting over than they used to!!!

While in the city I made a quick trip to Target as our second little granddaughter turns 2 on Friday and I just wanted some extras to go with her birthday present. I quickly was drawn to the homewares department and was so taken by the great display of picnic ware and china they have ready for summer entertaining.  Not long now and we will be enjoying lots of outdoor wining and dining!! I have never liked summer too much until we bought the beachhouse and now I really enjoy it. With our pool at the back and the beach at the front of the house life is pretty good. Much nicer than the long hot days on the farm where the risk of fire is always on my mind.

I really love the white china with the hearts!!!! The blue and green glasses are just gorgeous- all melamine so perfect for using near the pool. How good would these last plates in the black and orange be for a Halloween table!!!
Have a lovely week. I have all of my grandies coming to stay this week….not all at once thankfully so life will be busy!
