Highland Run

Situated deep in a valley just past Lydenburg....with no cell phone signal, long dirt roads and piece and quiet!

We left for Highland Run on Monday....and with that escaped to absolute solitude! It was glorious!

Simonne, Brendan and Jordan were first to arrive, we arrived later followed by Quintin, Mathew on Tuesday Wally, Hayley, Rhys and Hanna.

The mornings were cold.... The crazy men left at 5:30 am for fishing......we could only get the kids out of the house at about 10am...dressed in their warmest clothes...they had a ball!

Amy in her winter gear!

Mike, Quintin, Mathew and Wally were catching fish...

Amy learnt loads over the week. She learnt to love bananas or "nana" as she calls it. Also I am no longer allowed to feed her, if I try, I get an adamant "NO!" and she grabs the dish. So in our little cottage we are guaranteed constant mess as she is not a neat eater at all (even though she opens her mouth so wide.)

On Thursday, Wally took all the girls and kids on a walk or "Adventure". We walked along the rivers, through the bush and back on the Road. Amy enjoyed it so much, she found feathers, stones and lots of DIRT!
