A Lovely Outing

Yesterday my family and I all went on an outing with our grandmother, who had come up to see us a couple days ago. We went to a place near Toowoomba called Highfields. There we visited the Danish Flower Art shop/cafe.

We had a lovely time!




Mum & Sophie inside the cafe


Ella & the boys loved playing on the interesting children's equipment





I couldn't resist taking photos of our delicious morning tea!








Ella & Micah "heart" chocolate milkshakes





And so do I

Sophie was so cute sitting on a little kid's bench


I think Mum and India look so pretty together on the bench

I can't believe it, but I missed my blog anniversary which was on the 11th of January, I think! But I am still going to have a post about it because you know, I can't miss this important blogging date!

So I just wanted to say, THANK YOU all so much for following, commenting and supporting Roses and Bluebells last year and this year! I really appreciate it all.

I can't wait to see what this year holds for my blog!

Thanks a million!

Oh, and if you go to this blog, there is a video clip under the post entitled "Flood Video" that has even worse flood scenes!

Flooding!

The flooding in Queensland has gotten worse! It was in some cities and towns up north of the state I live in and around the bottom of Queensland, but I never expected it to be HERE where I live!
The flooding in Toowoomba was horrific! Yesterday afternoon, a storm started after lunch and went on for ages. The raining was the heaviest I have ever experienced! Dad's study and shed were flooded but (thankfully) our house was alright. The city centre had the worst though! The creek banks flooded over and turned the roads into rivers and people had to be rescued! The library and main shopping centre had to be evacuated and cars were floating around in the strong currents and making heaps of damage! Just around the corner of my house, the roads had flooded, cars were being bogged and houses had water gushing into them! It was an experience I'll never forget. the weather forecast has told us to expect more storms and flooding this afternoon which the small city of Toowoomba are not looking forward to!


Here are some video clips Dad took on his phone...













Those clips are from around where we live. Just thought I'd show them to you all so you get a picture of what it's like!


See ya.

Little House on the Prairie

Recently, myself, India and Ella have been watching the wonderful tv series, "Little House on the prairie". It's a series about a 19th century hard-working family based from the "Little House" books written by Laura Ingalls Wilder.
We all really enjoy watching this series and we're in the middle of watching season 7.
Have you ever watched any of the episodes, or even lots of seasons like us? I recommend watching them if you haven't before!
Here are some photos from the tv series. One of the things I love about this series is that they keep making more and more episodes so people get to see all the much loved characters grow up!





                                              


                             


                              


                                         


                                       


                           

Please, watch them! To buy them online you can go to The Book Depository here which takes currency from United States of America, Australia, Canada, Europe, United Kingdom etc. You could also find them at Christian book shops, dvd shops and maybe at some normal shops.

Have a lovely day!
