Time in Montreal
Time in London
Dear family and friends,
We have been baking in the unbelievable heat of the last few weeks, we've been having a run of 38 degree days. So we have tried not to do much outside! We have taken Amelia to the park and been down to the Fringe Festival. Iain and I have been to the races with Marsh Insurance Brokers and we've had a long weekend for Adelaide Cup (horse race).
Iain has been to Sydney, he had a meeting there and stayed overnight to see his mates. Stuart has just bought a boat so they spent the evening on it, on the harbour.
Amelia is a little treasure. Her personality is becoming so much more pronounced. We take her to the park most nights after work when it's a a bit cooler. She LOVES going on the swing and shouts 'weeeee' when she swings back and forth.
She also likes to say bye to everyone as she's leaving whether she knows them or not and wave at them.
We were delighted when we picked her up from childcare the other week and the review of her day, written by her carer was 'little miss kindness and compassion, Amelia took teddies to sad children and dummies to crying babies'.
As the season has started to turn the colours in the Hills are becoming quite beautiful
Last week James and Zoe joined us for dinner at a local Tapas place where they only serve food and wine that is from within a 100 mile radius. We have a lovely evening.
Today we have been to the Stirling Market and eaten lovely local food and bought locally made cake from the German cake stall. We then drove to Mannum which is on the River Murray and had a picnic before taking a paddleboat steamer cruise down the River. We've had a few days of 28/30 degrees so lovely, not bakingly uncomfortable.
Below are some photos from the last few weeks.
Love to all of you
Caroline, Iain and Amelia xxxx

Reading together - we are both partial to a book!
Amelia with her Easter Egg. She has chocolate so rarely (last time was Christmas) she had forgotten the delicious creamy taste and was delighted to rediscover it!
Here we are in the park having fun!
Last week the childcare that Amelia goes to had a visit from Remabi Wildlife Park and they brought some animals for the kids to look at. One of the animals was a baby crocodile and Amelia was fascinated. One of the girls very kindly sent us a photo they took so although it's small you can see Amelia above being very interested in a baby crocodile.
Today (Easter Sunday) we drove up to Mannum which is on the River Murray and we took a paddleboat steamer trip down the River. Amelia had a lovely time and was busy pointing things out all the way!!
Our adorable, cheeky girl :-)
