One Month old twin boys Miles & Owen.

Twins!!!!!! What more can I say? Double cuteness. Double soft skin. Double tiny feet and hands. Double.......trouble perhaps? NO! They were adorable, and very funny. Miles the larger of the two was not particularly impressed with the idea of being disturbed mid sleep to be stripped off down to his nappy (in the nicely heated room), and placed in a basket filled with rugs and have his mum and another lady try to position him so he looked cherub like. No way was he going to put up with this nonsense, and let us know! Owen on the other hand, didn't really care too much, once left alone, he settled down to continue his nap.

Then Owen got hungry. No longer interested in being a cherub, he wanted his feed......now! So mum, (not once was she flustered) picked him up and fed him. Another chance for me to take some pics whilst he was distracted.

Then Miles wanted his turn. Mum (still keeping her cool) told Miles he would have to wait until his brother finished. Then dressed and wrapped up Owen, put him down, and then picked up Miles (switched sides) and fed him! So cool and calm and patient and this was her first pregnancy. Those boys are not going to fluster this lady. She is a fantastic mum, so loving and gentle, but firm with them. They seem to understand her, and usually respond well. Anyway, I for one had a wonderful time, was reluctant to go home, but then was busting to see what was within the camera.

Very pleased with the results, thank you Miles (first born) and Owen (second born). Big THANK YOU to mum for the booking and her incredible patience and help with ideas. We both enjoyed the afternoon and I even got to have a few cuddles. (sigh). Practicing Grandma, for the future. Looking forward to future photo shoots as the boys grow.

"Shhhhh, it's ok Bro, I've got'cha."

"But mum, he started it!"
 


Mum's soothing touch quietens Miles.

Can you guess who's feet these are?

"Well Bro, it was like I was saying....."

One foot, Two feet, three feet, four feet.



"Mum, I didn't pinch him!",......honest!"

"Yer, blah, blah, blah...I've heard it all before".


"And true Bro...it was this tall".

"Now let me think....where was that?"...

Great Places To Visit: Tocumwal NSW on the Murray River.

 Perhaps I'm a little prejudiced, as Tocumwal is my home town, but I've always loved the Murray River Red Gums and watching the river & the bird, animal life here. All year around it delights me. Even the noisy Corella's can't put me off, I love living here. So why would a visitor want to spend time in Toc? Let me list just a small few off its attractions for you: Water sports: Fishing, skiing, swimming, canoeing, and any other water play you might like. Food: We have a number of Pubs, Clubs, Restaurants & Cafes if not in town then in easy driving distant. BIG variety for good old schnitzels, salads & chips to take-a-way favorites, great Coffee & Cakes and Bakery delights to tempt the taste buds!!  If you're an Artist or Photographer then Toc is a plethora of diverse landscapes to draw (pun intended) your attention. I for one have never tired of its beauty.  For the traveler's in their campers or caravans Toc has a selection of options for you to

Great Storm to Watch - Over Tocumwal N.S.W. Australia - Mini Tornado

A mini Tornado struck Strathmerton on the weekend of October 31/10/15 destroying a couple of houses. Luckily no one was hurt. Just a bit further along the Murray River at Tocumwal the Tornado ended. We happened to be home and live near the edge of town, close to the river.  We saw the sky turn pink, grey and green. Ominous. Can't remember a stormy grey sky turning pink or especially green before. Made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Then we heard this roar.  Bernie looked at me as we stood on our back verandah watching the clouds flying about and said "What's that noise?" I replied, "Wind. Lots of it. I think we should go inside now." As I said this we saw the sky along the river turn green and pink and the trees begin to whip wildly. We retreated inside for a bit and as the roar died away we ventured back out to the front verandah as torrential rain began to fall. And boy did it rain!!! The early afternoon turned dark as the clouds above turned

It's Baby Magpie Season

Yes it's Spring again. I know because the local magpies have 2 babies. I know this because I occasionally throw out scraps on my back lawn to supplement their food rations and they are regular visitors. This week they brought me a present.....2 babies. Must be a good season this year to be raising 2 babies instead of 1. Anyway the magpies here in Melbourne are white backed magpies as apposed to the magpies at Tocumwal in N.S.W. which are black backed magpies. Also the birds here in Melb. are larger than their northern cousins, probably all the McDonalds they eat down here! I enjoy listening to their warbling song and can't help but shake my head at the patience and persistence of the adult birds constantly being "harassed" by the chicks for food. They are noisy little critters when they are hungry and very bossy, often pecking at the adult birds for more food. I've named them....squarker 1 and squarker 2, they never seem to stop. Poor parent birds, these chicks a
