A visit to the block

Benji, Mum, S and I drove out to the block on the weekend - S's first visit!  We met up with Bill and Kate who were camping nearby and had planned to go for a walk out to the cliffs which we can see from our place.  But S was snotty and sneezy and the weather was windy, wet and cold so we had a coffee in a cafe instead... so much better for a sick little boy to be inside being warmed by the wood heater than out in the blustery, grey day.  Oh, and we ran into Gordon, mum's old real estate agent at the cafe! 

I forgot to take photo's so I borrowed one from here.  (I wish the sky was more like this on the day we visited!!)




We did brave the weather for a brief picnic lunch up on the block and oh, it is getting pretty overgrown again.  If we don't get started with building soon we're going to have to have it cleared again!  Benj and I will have to go out and clean it up ourselves one long weekend when the weather's not so bad... maybe we could stay in town... hmm I'll suggest it to Benji... we could also do a bit of local touristy stuff too! 

Also the house next door had been on the market for some time and it looks like it has new owners. It has been "spruced up" and is now called, I'm rolling my eyes here,  "Engelburg (Angel's Castle)" and has a great gaudy sign proclaiming this fact.  There are bright red pots and urns and tables and chairs and all sorts things all over the place.  Luckily none of it visible from our block.

Oh a house plans update:  We're at another standstill with the house plans as Anthony has gone overseas for a few weeks... not sure if someone else at M Design can take over and finish them off to tender stage... we'll see.
