Day 51 - Fresh flowers

One of the things we enjoy is being so close to the Bandycoot’s Nan and we often walk over to visit her. Today we certainly took the scenic route, giving the pups a big walk even though it meant they had muddy paws when we made it to Nans. She’s always so kind and generous with the bounty of her garden and today was no exceptions as we took home a big bunch of flowers. The walk back was freezing and I lost all feeling in my face.

We stopped off to check on the alpacas and Anna, the matriarch, actually walked right up to the Bandycoot and let him put his hand on her nose. We hope this means they are getting used to us and will become friendlier each day.

There is a new project in the works, as the Bandycoot (my boyfriend) spent the best part of the afternoon chopping up an old fallen tree that he hopes to make into a very natural mailbox. It’s a great concept and sure to be an improvement on our current box which is an old petrol container.
