Happy Easter!


Easter is a time of the year when we are filled with joy and love!
Have a blessed Easter 2010.

We are off to the sea, to renew, breathe in new life and just enjoy every breath of fresh air!
Who better to spend it with, than my loved ones (or some of them anyway) and the best friends in the world!
Easter hunts on the beach and bonfires!

Lots of love
See you soon!

Drought!



























We have a river running deep under our home!


It has been more than 6 months since my city has had decent rainfall. We have a third of our water supply left and each household should be getting by on less than 500lt a day! This is impossible for mine... we are a family of 7 including the staff.


It is now a familiar site to see these drilling machines parked outside almost every 2nd house in my area. I love my garden and the water from the borehole is sweet, almost drinkable except with a high percentage of calcium. We plan to convert most of our water usage inside to this "grey" system as well , so in the long run, we will be saving on consumption and the bonus, less
of our hard earned money will be going to the council!

Thank you Eddie, for a wonderful birthday present!!

As I look outside, the rain is starting to fall... Murphy's Law!
























Blessed Easter Greetings!
