With the thermometer hitting above 35 Ralph thought it was a good idea to jump in the bath to cool down. Luck for us it was the old bath out the back and not the one in the house.
Over the last couple of weekends we’ve been doing a few things on the block at Anstead. We’d had the road fixed up a few months ago, but a few storms have made short work of it, so we decided to put some drainage in to divert the water.
After all the running around for Ecovidual, we decided to get away for a few days down to Byron Bay. We stayed at the Bamboo Cottage, which is just a few minutes walk from town, they’re dog friendly, so we took Ralphie with us for his first trip to the beach. He loved it so much I think we’ll have to make it a regular trip, probably not all the way to Byron but somewhere a little closer. Picture after the break. continue reading…
Last weekend Leigh & Julie launched their environmentally friendly product shop, Ecovidual, at Greenfest. They’ve been talking about this for years, so here’s some photos to prove they’ve actually done it.
In a couple of weeks on the 10th October 2008, Leigh & Julie’s e-shop, Ecovidual will have its lauch at Greenfest.
They’ll have a stall in the Green Street Mall showing off some of their products like:
The Costello Seat from Wambamboo.
The Powermonkey-explorer
Organic cotton linen & towels
Come down to green fest and say hello.
