Here we are, back at Coolah enjoying our beautiful grandchildren again. We agreed to do a Housesit for Jo's neighbours who have gone to Europe for 2 months so we are now living next door to some very special little people!!! We left Elliott Heads after enjoying the company of our friends Bob and Ellen and made a quick trip down to Tweed Heads for a few days where we caught up with Mum. Jo, Phil and the girls were on holiday at Coolangatta, enjoying the warm weat...

Ruby Irene is now 9 weeks old and is growing so fast, changing every day. She was born nearly 3 weeks early by caesarean on the 22/9, weighing in at 2.7 kgs.

We have spent a lot of time with Josh and Ellie this month. Emma has started work now at a Childcare centre so we have bee...

We had a good Housesit at Carrara, a lovely house and a beautiful dog called Jazz, such a character and a pleasure to be with. He loved being in the pool with us and really enjoyed the chicken flavoured ice blocks we made him for treats. My brother Simon and his family came down from Noosa to see mum before Christmas and we were lucky enough to h...
