Kingscliffe to Mullumbimby


Hi lovelies,

Well today we are in the beautiful town of Mullumbimby.


I decided not to blog yesterday as there was not much news.
I got up early and got some chores done.

This little visitor decided to watch me peg the wash, must be a male.

We then ventured into south tweed as we needed a couple of parts for the van. Most were all obtained at the first store, while one continued to remain on the wanted list even though we must have visited every van, auto and camping store in the area.
It was then back to the van for lunch and our scheduled nap.

The afternoon as spent watching Robbie try his hand again at fishing. No lunch this time, but I managed to get quite a few more chapters in my book read.

Today we arose, packed up and headed off. 

Our first stop was Stokes Siding. We had seen an advertisement for a place where you could make your own guitar and thought it would be worth a look. Alas, they were not open, so we just had to be content with the pretty drive.


 Our next stop was Burringbar where we went to visit an antique trading store. This was a wonder to see. Sooooo much stuff. 
Baskets, old ladders, printers trays, singer machines and parts, bikes, cordial bottle cases, glassware and tools.


Robbie was very glad we were in the van and had no room for the thousands of dollars I wanted to spend on things.

Nana I did spot this, and at $125 each thought you might be interested. 


Gramps, these were from $350 each - keep "ours" safe 


From there we headed to Mooball where we stopped at the Moomoo cafe. 




This cafe, service station has a small racing memorabilia display and was well worth a look.


Cars, motor bikes and children’s antique bikes and cars made for an interesting wander.


It was then off to find the Showgrounds at Mullumbimby. I thought it was a lovely drive, but Robbie was having his normal go at me about not knowing what a highway is. I may soon loose my navigating licence if I keep it up.

Van set up we headed into town to find some sustenance.


We pulled up in the woolies car park and the first thing I saw was the man in the car next to us smoking a bong. I was told we are in a hippy town.

To Rob's dismay we also found this lovely art store.




Lots of wonderful goodies. 


I controlled myself and just got some watercolour paper.


Back to the van, lunch for us both, then a nap for me while Robbie got to fixing he couple of things he got parts for yesterday.


So now here I sit, watching the gum trees across the oval.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
Stay safe everyone and keep enjoying life.
Love us.

New South Wales Adventure - Tenterfield

Hi lovelies, A little earlier start this morning than yesterday.  We were up having a lovely breakfast by 8am.   It was a little sad this morning as we said goodbye to Steph and Leo.  We have had such a blessed time with them and we look forward to catching up with them again when we head to South Australia next year. As the weather was drizzly today we decided to head off to visit some of the nearby National Parks.  Our day consisted of dirt roads, mossy paths, lots of kangaroos and very few cars.  Gramps we are very sorry but the O Mobile is in great need of a bath.  If it rains tonight I will be sending Robbie out in his swimmers to give it a wash. Our first stop was to see Thunderbolts Hideout.  It is a short walk through some bush to see where this apparently "gentlemanly" bushranger hid. It was then back into the car and off to see the Tank Traps that were part of the Brisbane Line.  It is a fairly visually unimpressive place for such an important part

Dylusions Dy-Cuts Art Journal

Hi Lovelies, This week's edition of Art Journal is very special, stunning and unique! We can't get enough of all the textures and colours going on in this page! We just love this.  This wonderful page features the Dylusions 'Dy-Cuts' which are quirky and colorful pre-cut shapes which make the perfect addition to any art journal page! You probably can already guess what paints we have used this week... The stunning, vibrant colours which are leaping of this page, are of course, Dylusions paints! When you take a closer look at you can see the texture and elements which have been layered to create this stunning page. A script stamp is perfect for layering and can fill in any gaps where you think something might be missing but not quite sure what! Helen has scattered some of the new Dina Wakley 'Collage Words' across the two pages. These are great as you can add a sentiment to your page whilst still allowing the colours from the background to
