Dance Competition

Katie and Holly enter their solo dances in a local competition. Both did very well.

Lots of emotion from Holly as the little match girl.....my god, she can act – Jackie the dance teacher had tears in her eyes at the end of the dance!

Katie was one of the youngest in her 13yrs and over contemporary category,
but got 3^rd out of 17 dancers. Well done No 1.   

Sian and Laura Visit

Great isn't it, we are very lucky,  the cover was extra, but it has lasted very well and I have found that the size is just right for moving logs, sand gravel etc etc.

Picnic time - crisps and fruit, a balanced diet.

Girls!, Girls! Look.......Immi can levitate.

Oh, hang on, it looks like they all do it.

Water still warm, but weather a little bit bracing for the beach

A slightly early birthday cake for Sian. I believe that "Easter" is Aboriginal for Birthday!?

Mothers Day Run for Breast Cancer

Team "Dorsett" are ready for the 5km fun run

Running for Grandma and Katie's friend's Mum

Immi also taking her school mascot, one legged Larry

The 'A Team' fast crew reach the half way point - Mum & "Mini Me"..... followed a little later by Immi, being motivated by Katie and a chocolate frog (carrot and donkey routine)

Through the finish line and its medals, show bags and fruit for all

Well done girls, great effort.

Easter at Narooma

Our last trip to the NSW coast before winter.

  Easter morning and following an email from the Easter Bunny, we made our way to one of the more remote beaches in search of eggs.

 

Katie shows Immi and Holly the large Red Herrings whilst I “check” the beach for chocolate eggs   

Wow! eggs galore

Sugar high arriving - time to dance...again...

With the red herrings gone, the real Dolphins surf the waves.

Water still 21c (warm) and Katie's surfing is improving very quickly

Katie gets up on the board yet again........shouldn't you on your Playstation thingy? 

A good sea breeze and time to get out the windsurfing gear

A slow start with very little wind next to the beach,

but kit breaking waves charging towards me.....finaly, the old timer, got out at the 3rd attempt



Feb - Apr – Nana & Grandad Dorsett Visit Aus

Dorsett Seniors arrive and it’s off to the coast for a short camping trip in one of the National Parks - lots of friendly wildlife.....and a few roos.

I show Immi what her future boyfriends should not look like..

..."and if he looks like this, I will poke him in the eye with a stick, like so" 

Not the brightest of animals, but entertaining.

The not so friendly wildlife - a red bellied black.......yep, it would kill you if you didn't get medical help, but its not a fast death so no need to panic!!!

Oh, and whilst you are here can you please renovate the house, just start with all of the white woodwork....

then sand the deck, hammer all of the thousand nails in and re-oil....

Then, just before you cook dinner, mow the lawns......Welcome to the new house!

Cooler nights and our maple trees are turning....anyone want a trip to Aus to help clear some leaves?  

Jazz - alert as ever

One of our own friendly outdoor pets - a Garden Orb - about 4 inches long - it won't hurt you, but the shock of it crawling on your leg/arm might finish you off.  

Immi tries another icecream

Dining on the deck (White rail and deck done by Grandad!)

Katie gets 2 awards at school - well done Kate.  

Katie's quilt makes it to the Canberra show.........the Davies talent lives on.

Sports day - Holly on her first lap, all smiles...

second and final lap, no smiles but ahead of the pack. 

Immi racing to get another icecream
