Before Easter, I took Master G on a visit to my home town of Adelaide. The trip was to visit his Grandma for her birthday, see his Pa and to meet his great grandparents and extended family. It was so wonderful that I extended our trip a couple of times and we ended up staying a month!
We were lucky enough to be there while some very cool markets were on. In particular, Bowerbird Bazaar burnt a hole in my wallet with lots of gorgeous purchases for the lad. We purchased two art works (one by Delilah Devine and the other by The Gently Unfurling Sneak), a cute top (again, Delilah Devine), a funky toy hammer (by Fede) and something else which escapes memory for now. There were so many wonderful stalls and it was topped off by fabulous food - the vegetarian fare by Let Them Eat was so delicious. We also visited the Vintage Fair and came away with a fabulous stash of vintage kids books.
Most of our days were spent with friends, visiting family, or going for long walks along the river listening to the birds and watching the ducks and horses. I miss being able to go for such lovely walks. The best part of the trip was Thomas getting to spend lots of time with his Grandma and Pa. It was wonderful to watch him blossom with them. It was also lovely to spend quality time with my gorgeous girlfriend (of 20 years!) and her daughter, Amelia.
Oh how I miss home.
