We had to go over to Australind on Boxing Day, so decided to make it a nice family outing and take the kids and the dogs to the dog beach at Bunbury. Bolt slept the whole trip, while poor baby Zeke cried most of the way until he chucked up his breakfast…then once he chucked […]
Well here it is the day before Christmas Eve, this year has seemed to simultaneously stretch for eternity *and* move at warp speed…some days the contradiction really plays with your mind!

Summer hit with a vengence today, 38degrees! But at least it is a dry heat rather than the sticky humid heat that Perth gets. Our split system air conditioners went in on Wednesday, just in time for the heat that is predicted over the next few days. Can’t complain too much, it has been beautiful […]
Zeke and Bolt are getting very brave and adventurous now, and both take pleasure in being very cheeky! We’ve introduced them to raw meaty bones which they attack like little wolves, and they thoroughly enjoy the raw mince mixed with their puppy kibble. The chest freezer arrived Wednesday (complete with *major* dent, but thats another […]

Tazzy is our “honourary” Standardbred and the colour in our paddocks – a 13h gelding, light palamino, welsh quarterhorse pony. We purchased Tazzy as a five year old, but according to the dentist who removed a few caps from his teeth he is only rising four. Although Tazzy was broken to saddle, had professional natural […]
