TEN RANDOM THINGS

I've seen a couple of these posts, so thought I would try one too.  You've no idea how long it has taken me to think about it, but here goes.

1.  I wanted to be an architect.

2.  I was taught to knit at age four, learn to play piano at five, but only for 6 months, sew on an electric sewing machine at seven and shown how to crochet by my great grandmother age eight.

3.  As a child I drew stone houses, loved the stone walls of the south coast of New South Wales and when I visited the UK in 1999, Hubby took me to the Penines and I announced that I felt like I had come home. A couple of years later, my cousin on Dad's side did some of our family tree and found that my forebears had come from the Penines and were stonemasons.  How's that for heredity.

4.  I'd love a pink kitchen with an island.

5.  I dislike impatient people.

6.  I have way too many books, magazines, fabric and wool.

7.. I don't drink, but do use alcohol in my cooking occasionally, and make a great Chocolate Sherry slice.

8.  I actually enjoy ironing.

9.  I love stationery shops and have oodles of notebooks etc.

10. My initials are S.S.S.

OK, now you all probably know too much.

Yesterday, Hubby and I went for a walk and I actually took my small camera with me and this is what we saw.

These cattle were running across the paddock to greet us at the fence.

A huge toadstool.  (that's hubby's foot.)

A cluster of toadstools.

An old tree.

The Avenue of Honour with it's trail beside it where we were walking.  It goes for many miles from the Victory Arch on the outskirts of Ballarat.

A sunshine gate (brand name).

That's all for now folks.  Take care and have a lovely weekend.
I'll be back soon with more about quilts and crafts.
Susan.
