We were absolutely delighted with the local Christmas parade. It is so inspiring to see how strong the community spirit is here in our little town. Apparently record numbers entered the street parade, so it shows no signs of slowing down.
Grammy, S and I walked into town from Grammy's house and Benji met us there - having driven straight from work in Brissy. After watching all the local businesses and clubs parade their floats down the main street, and getting handfuls of lollies as they were passed into the crowds, we got street eats and settled in to watch the local musical talent.
One of the bands 'Noisy Minors', was really impressive! I feel excited that there are interesting people doing interesting things in our community. S had his first ever lollie and went a little crazy with the sugar hit... Benji and I spent a lot of the night chasing after him through the busy main street.
And the other great excitement we had last week was visiting the block and seeing some REAL progress! We knew from Kate's email that work had begun on the house pad... but to see it in reality was really something else! Benji and I let out little cries of joy and gave each other high fives (like the dorks we are). So it's really happening! It really is!!!
