The Berri Adventure

A couple weeks back I went on a road trip with some friends to celebrate one of the parties 40th birthday. The birthday boy had booked a holiday shack up near Berri on the Murray River. Unfortunately just on leaving Adelaide I happened to cause some damage to my back and endured the 3 hours road trip to the holiday shack. 

The holiday shacks view was amazing, picturesque and breath taking, which was a relief because with my back getting worse and the pain killers not working, it was at least a lovely place to just sit and what the world go by.

There also seemed to be some local wildlife that was rather curious who was occupying to premises at the time. 

After sitting around watching the guys organise the boat the was hired, we headed off to the Overland Corner Hotel for dinner. Beautiful food, great company, and good live music. There was also a large hungry  Pharaoh Hound and insects involved but we coped.

 Once dinner was consumed and we returned to the holiday shack the four of use sat out on the deck and marveled over a very clear crisp display of stars over head. After a while we all began to see satellites and a few shooting stars.

The following morning brought a glorious sunrise.

The rest of the day ended up rather windy but much fun was had by all. 

The day was aptly ended was a equality captivating sunset.

But, alas, our time was up and we had to return to society (boo), and this was my parting photo of the view that had been so lovely to just sit and take in. 

 

Birthday 34 and Road Trip

Finally got around to doing my lay out for my birthday and the road trip I took for my birthday. Really like the Periwinkle collection from Kaisercraft, even though it is so very not my usual style. I like how these came out, hope you like too.

Birthday Adventures 2012

Each year I try and come up with an adventure for my birthday, be it getting acrylic nails done for the first (and last) time, planning a picnic (which never works out), or to just wonder around a shopping centre I am not familiar with. This is was the latter on the list, which turned out VERY good, as it seems that Nerf guns are a plenty in the North Eastern suburbs. What ever gets plans however, is ALWAYS preceded by Birthday Crepes (TM) at Mitcham Shopping Centre. More specifically Banana Nuttella Crepes with cream and ice cream, and due to their size this crepe is shared between two people, for fear of Rolly_Polly'ness.

SOOO GOOOD!

The purpose of this food stuff is to give fuel for the commencement of shopping mall walking and well shopping.

Birthday LoOt (TM)

Two new NERF guns for the cabinet!

I beautiful jewelery bodice stand from and Op shop.

I also was sent a one of a kind wire sculpture from a good friend of mine in Perth, I will take pictures of this once I have written my last exam next week. I also believe it is a item that requires its own blog entry.

Yesterday I also received a present from my darling brother as well as a Buzz Lightyear Bubble gun that I have been searching for for a while now. Again, there will be pictures. 

The day after my birthday, last Saturday, we also took a road from up North to see some craft fairs that were one. Unfortunately the craft fairs weren't any good, but the drive was great. I took a few snaps along the way too.
