Melon's cottage!

hi guys

i thought i would get my bum into gear and get some piccies posted so you believe there really is a 'melons cottage'! So...here they are...


We are making slow but good progress on the garden, and are hoping to get it all ready for an autumn planting...Pete is looking at painting the balcony out the back over the next few days (weather permitting of course!)... Bodsie puss seems pretty happy catching mice (yay for bodsie) and pete has done a great job setting our little avery up in preparation of putting a couple of little budgies - 2 girls called rae way and alison...

eli's cow 'moowhistle'...big fat thing she is!

'harolds' mum 'mondy' after our pa 'raymond'...

melons candle, i always have one in the holder and keep it at work for when i need to remember...


slowly slowly coming together.

every day we remember eli, sometimes with tears and sometimes with little giggles. He is never far from our thoughts and we continue to celebrate the fact that we had eli in our lives.

Anyhoo, love to everyone and look forward to updating the blog again soon.
