Sydney Markets


Hi lovelies,

What an amazing couple of days we have had.

On Friday we headed into the city to collect my brother. 


He was in town for 2 days, and he was just so lovely and giving in sharing his family time with us.

Thursday it was just Mike, Rob and I and we had lunch together and then headed back to his unit to catch up with his beautiful wife, Niki.
Saturday was so busy that we have split it into two parts.
First got up super early 4.45am and headed into the Sydney Markets at Homebush. 
Wow, this was amazing.

We started with the fish section,




headed into the fruit and vegies,





went past this amazing spice man




cheeses and nuts and nibble bits were next




then some teas


and finally, onto the bread section.

The atmosphere was energetic, and it was an eye-opening experience to see the busyness of the place.  I was a little in the way as I was just wandering and taking photos. 😊.
From there we went to the flower market.  This was a delight of scents and colour.  


Orchids


 Roses

tulips
 


 sunflowers


 dried flowers
 
and so many more






I think Robbie was so very pleased that we were living in the van and so purchasing was not really on the cards for me.

The Sydney Markets are amazing and I would recommend a visit to anyone.  One note before going.  The markets are cash trading only, but they do have a number of ATM's for those who run out of dollars.
 
When we were finished Mike and his family headed to the beach, while we back to the van, where I had not 1 but 2 naps 😊.

This was the first part of our day - we will be back tomorrow with our evening activities and our adventures from today.  What were they, well you will just have to check back and see. 😉

 Take it easy lovelies, stay safe 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
