Here we at Easter already – where has this year flown?
I was trying to take a photo of these eggs to help wish you all a happy Easter, but Rocket was intrigued by the smell and wouldn’t get out of the way! So from Rocket and the rest of the McDonald crew, we wish you a ‘Happy Easter’!
Enjoy what ever you are doing for this four-day break. We’ve seen countless four-wheel drives, camper vans and caravans, loaded up to the hilt with camping gear and fishing rods, heading past our front gate to the beach! Think all the good fishing spots might be taken for the next few days!
Please take it steady on the roads and be safe.
My first novel, Red Dust, is being launched on the Friday May 8.
Please join us for a wine and cheese night at Le Grand Bookshop from 5-7pm.
Please RSVP to Sally for catering purposes, on 9071 7829.
Esperance Helitours come and ‘park’ on our hockey oval, offering rides. White knuckled fliers are more than welcome as are those who take to the air like birds.
How great it would be to see Condingup by air, or maybe check out the good fishing holes over at The Duke or close by beaches.
The noise of the chopper adds to the excitement and atmosphere at the Fair. The kids laughs and screams of delight as they bounce in the Bouncy Castle, have their face painted or ride the train is why the committee work so hard to put this all together.
There’s also a fashion parade put on by Hennesy’s. Come and check out the latest fashions and see if you recognise any of the models – it’s more than likely you will.
Don’t forget all the wonderful jewellery, stationary, camping, make-up and local produce stalls, that you can buy or order from, plus all the info desks. The Anglican Community School, The Residential College, ICPA and Employment Esperance just to name a few.
Then there’s all the outdoor displays, which I’ll tell you about next instalment!!
Don’t forget March 21. 10:00am. Condingup Community Centre and Footy oval. See you there!
There seems to be great competition between kids when it comes to their birthday cakes! Now, this is fine if you’re like my friend Gill and is a brilliant cook, decorator and everything else that goes on in the kitchen!
If you’re like me and struggle to get a cake to rise, let alone make it look like the picture that’s been chosen from the Women’s Weekly Birthday Book, you tend to dread birthdays!
Rochelle turned nine not that long ago and thankfully she liked this cake enough to take it to school. Now there’s only Hayden to go and I’m free of decorated birthday cakes until the next year!
I recently told you all about the Condingup Community Fair and how it’s our annual fund raiser for our small school.
Well this is a competition that happens every year, sets tongues wagging and will whet you’re your appetite to attend the day!
The dog high jump is a great entertainer – the dog that jumps the highest wins, and some of the heights that are achieved, gobsmack even the toughest competitors! It just goes to show that when ‘Man’s best friend’ is asked by his master to do some crazy things for his tucker… he does. And that’s the prize. Dog food.
Don’t forget, Condingup Community Fair, March 21, starting at 10am. Come and see us!
2009 already! Where are all the years flying to? My mum used to tell me that I was wishing my life away — ‘I wish my birthday would come, I can’t wait for Christmas!’ and now here the new year is already!
I really hope that the New Year brings all your hopes and wishes true, the rain falls when it’s supposed to and that it is a much better season for so many or you farmers who have had it tough for so long.
For all you ‘city-siders’ I hope this year is a great year for you all and there is no impact anywhere from the global crisis.
Celebrate hard, but stay safe!!
