Orange Country Fair & Wool Expo

Yesterday we spent some time at our local Country Fair and Wool Expo. It was a great day for it, not too hot and not too cold, I still managed to get sun burnt though : (


 Our local historical group organises the event and money raised from it is donated to the community. This year they had approached our school with a request to assist on the day and in return they allowed us to have a BBQ stall along with some information displayed about the school. We will also receive a donation from the funds raised on the day.


There were some great displays and the old machinery caught the boys eye. 


I also found lots of great stuff to look at.


Unfortunately we were not very organised and we didn't have a great deal of cash on us. So I just enjoyed looking. I could have bought lots of lovely things though!


We helped out on one of the gates for a couple of hours. You can see my boy is getting so big and he did a marvellous job!


He does need a haircut though, however he likes it long and I am trying to pick my fights ; ) and I am sure once it gets hot he will get sick of it.



While we were doing our stint on the gate we were fortunate enough to have some musical accompaniment! We did feel very special!


It wasn't just for us though, we had a special guest, the Governor General arrived! In my lack of knowledge and preparation I tried to snap a photo on my new phone and this was it! Oh well, I think she was in there!

I was thinking that I would try and do a regular post on where we live, what do you think? Would you like to participate and share about where you live or would you be interested in seeing more of my beautiful home town?

Have a great week everyone and thanks again for your prayers and concern for my health. I am well enough and just playing the wait and see game at the moment, so there is nothing new to report!

Autumn

As I was driving to work today I noticed that the trees are changing colour and I was reminded of how beautiful Autumn can be and what a wonderful creator we have, to have given us so much beauty in the world to enjoy!
I found some of my favourite Autumn photos.
This one was taken in April 2005 when Nicholas was only 5. That seems like such a long time ago. We had taken his bike (it used to fit in the back of the car) and drove to our soccer field where we have a path running alongside. The path was a great place for Nicholas to practice riding his bike without training wheels.
These next few photos were taken in our City's park in the centre of town. It is a beautiful park all year round. In summer the big trees provide lots of shade and it is always nice and cool in the park. In Autumn the park provides lots of fun for the young kids who love to play in the leaves!
We had these photos taken last year just before Mothers day to use as gifts for our mothers and Grandmothers.
This last photo is taken at the same time but we are in my favourite city block. I just love this block on this street because of the trees and the street's width. It is so close to the CBD and has lovely houses.
I hope you all enjoyed our colours of Autumn. What is your favourite season? I enjoy all of them for different reasons but I do not really like the cold so I find winter seems to drag on the longest!
