Days 7, 8 and 9

Continuing on with my photo-a-day challenge, here are photos from the last three days, and the words are 7. natural, 8. at night, and 9. something I do most weekends.

 
 
 
We've been having some crazy weather here in South Gippsland the last few days, wind bringing branches and whole trees down, and it's also been raining gumnuts, and I just can't resist picking them up.  Love the different colours and isn't the green amazing?
 
The second photo shows a little corner of our sitting room with piles of books at the ready.  Our night time generally means lamp light.  I love lamp light or candles and find overhead lights way too bright.
 
And, yes most weekends I am very lucky and get breakfast in bed.  I know a lot of people don't like breakfast in bed, something about the crumbs in the sheets or something, but it is one of my favourite things indeedy!!  This morning I had some chocolatey pops on top of my seriously healthy cereal.
 
Hope you've had a happy weekend.
Will be back soon with crochet, craft and quilting!

  3. We've had a fab weekend - hot and sunny. What are gumnuts? I totally agree re overhead lights - i never use mine but have table lamps and standing lamps here and there, much softer light. I haven't had breakfast in bed since pre-kids, but I do love a cup of tea in bed with my book in the mornings, especially if hubby is downstairs giving the kids their breakfast! x

    1. Gumnuts are nuts (actually more than a seed pod than a nut, you can't eat them) that grow on a gum tree!! It is from the gumnut that the flower grows. Cheers : -)

    2. I'm wrong, I'm so sorry!! The gumnut (or fruit) is where the seeds are released, and the flower is completely separate. Oh dear, and I call myself a true-blue Aussie girl.
