Cold weather begins

These are catch up posts from June.

We had a great op shop one day. Varsha found a real old Polaroid and some tartan pants and a fabulously retro book and a James Pond T-shirt.
Laxmi was excited about the books. She wanted to buy lots but settled on a dictionary, a thesaurus and a find a thing book.
Varsha and Laxmi took videos of Rupert giving a talk about the trees on Babbler Hill
Tim and Louie came to stay. We went for a walk down the Bump Track with them.
Luca taught Varsha how to play speed and she taught us how to play.
