"The House"

"The House"

Australia

"The trees retained their leaves, and shed their bark instead, the swans were black, the eagles white, the bees were stingless, some mammals had pockets, others laid eggs, it was warmest on the hills and coolest in the valleys, even the blackberries were red."
J Martin 1830s

Carys is 4

Oh, the pressure of organising a 4 year old's birthday party. Nobody told me the rule about inviting one guest for each year of the party girl's life beforehand. We decided to invite nearly everyone we knew in Sydney. It was a good feeling looking round the garden chatting to such a nice group of friends that we are sorry to leave behind.

The party followed the standard format of face painting, pass the parcel, and general sugar high, but despite the sunshine nobody was brave enough to go in the pool. It was quite cold by Aussie summertime standards, which was probably a good thing for us wilting Brits.





I wonder if Carys will remember her Southern Hemisphere birthday.
