A lovely day was spent driving around the Barossa Valley and stopping off at little shops and fossicking around for treasures ( and of course lunch at a country pub....bread and butter pudding with caramel sauce, cream and icecream (DECADENT AND DIVINE)
We found this in a back room in a pile of old household pieces (wish we could of bought more)
There is 2 fruit dipping baskets, an old bucket and enamel bowl...all to be used for plants and herbs in the garden
Another vintage book for my collection
A vintage 1930's ring box...lovely condition inside
Our 6 chicks are 6 weeks old and it now seems 2 are roosters and we will have to find a new home for them...you can see the difference in size in this picture
The garden is in full spring mode and roses new to us are opening these are "Pinkie"
"Apricot Delight"
We tested the automatic watering system at sunset and took an interesting shot!
I found an Australian White Ibis wandering around in the garden ... good grief!
