They're back

I went to pick up the boys yesterday and bring them home from their week away at Epi's. They had a wonderful time and they had an opportunity to see all of their cousins in the one week, which they enjoyed very much. They did lots of bike riding, playing game-boys, learning chess, playing the piano and making very special items in the workshop. What a lovely way to spend the first week of their school holidays. There was one last social event we needed to attend before returning to Sydney and that was the Blessing of the Animals at Epi and Carol's church.


It was our job to bring Macca, which meant a short ride in our car from home to the church. Check out Ollie's "war wounds" on his leg.


The small country church was filled with adults, kids and dogs for the service which included each animal being blessed individually by the priest, Genieve. All animals were very well behaved and everyone was rewarded at the end with a sausage sizzle.


It was time for the Hardings to hit the road after a sausage in a piece of bread and then two very exhausted boys fell asleep and slept almost all the way home. There was the most beautiful full and golden moon last night which guided us home.
