Some Solo Updates.....

I haven't shared many Solo photos lately

So here are some i took the other day.

Having a cuddle...

Solo loves his carrots...

Look Mum

I love Carrots

Then Emelia decided to test his quiet nature...

She played all over his back and he didn't budge

so she decided to try under him...

As you can see that doesn't bother him either..

He is so quiet!!

Love Him or Hate Him...................

Admittedly, im not a huge fan of Eminem but after my daughter convinced me to just listen to the lyrics a couple of albums ago, some of his songs, (Not the paranoid ones) do have a strong message for a certain percentage of the population.

I commend him on "putting it out there" and hope his recovery is real and he is learning to be a man and live up to his responsibilities..

I really do wish him the best with that.

A Beautiful Weekend.....

Look at this setting...

How can you not be relaxed here?

I took myself up to the Hunter Valley for a weekend

of fun, laughter and scrapping.....

Most of the laughter happened here.

As we were watching the sun set...

I consumed a whole bottle of wine myself,

when i wasn't looking!!
I tell you, removing oneself from the Spa

after that kind of consumption is difficult work!!!

Here is the gorgeous sunset looking to the mountains...

And i love this pool

that just escapes over the edge..

A beautiful weekend...
