We had a beautiful Easter break – relaxing at my aunt and uncle’s farm, watching the sheep and cattle, the tiny wrens bathing in the bird bath, chatting to relatives.  It was a beautiful four days (with no crafting done whatsoever).  Clare collected eggs, fed the chickens, “helped” with feeding out, and thoroughly enjoyed herself.  But it is very, very dry in southern NSW.

We got home to discover that our house had been broken into.  Very grumpy!  It’s the first time it’s ever happened to me, and we were actually very lucky – nothing was taken – it seems that the burglar was looking for jewellery, and I’d taken all my good stuff with me (a discerning burglar – all the cheap costume stuff was left behind).  Now we’re off to improve our home security – time for an alarm etc.
