Hi lovelies,
We have had such a wonderful time with the family at Patanga
and yesterday we were blessed to witness the arrival of two beautiful little kids.
We were on our way to a BBQ when the kids were born. We stopped to check on the mum to see how she
was going. She was having a little
trouble and unfortunately her first kid was a breach birth and did not survive. It was a harsh reminder that life on the land
can be harsh.
It was all hands on deck for the arrival of the next little girl.
Mum gave her a bit of a check out.
Then it was not long before the her sister arrived.

We left them to settle and headed back off to the back of
the back of the property for our late lunch BBQ. Andrew and Amelia had the fire going and Rob
and I along with Jaime and Kay (Jaime’s mum) joined them. It did look like a family conference was happening to see where to put the billy 😀
Corn and potatoes in the coals, sausages and onions of the
grill, followed by damper sticks with butter and golden syrup. Too busy eating to take photos.
Even the dogs joined in and had a great time.
It was a wonderful end to a beautiful day.

Sharing some of the other pics from the last few days. A deer spotted early one morning when we were out to check on the goats.

A beautiful misty morning view.
A wombat who was frolicking in the field while we were waiting for the kids to be born.
Some skippies who joined us for our BBQ.
Jaime and Amelia took a quick trip on the bikes.

Today we sadly said goodbye to our new friends and headed to
Tumut for a couple of days.
We travel back through Tumbarumba and Batlow.
Driving through Batlow was like a bit of a winter wonderland with snow along the side of the road and in the fields.

We have set up camp at the Blowering Holiday Park just outside Tumut.
We are sharing our area with some more little ones. Some of the lambs are just 2 weeks old.
The owner was working on putting some new fences up so we
disappeared pretty quickly 😊.
We had such a wonderful time with the family at Patanga and
feel very blessed that they welcomed us so openly into their home. We have made plans to return in the future.
All for now.
Stay safe and keep enjoying life.
Love us.
