We love a festival


(the kids first fairy floss ever, are we meanies or what! They loved it, of course)

Where we live, the World Environment Day Festival was held today. Why it was not on yesterday, I cannot tell you. We didn't get there until midday but we still managed to have plenty of fun:

• we saw a wombat, a possum, and the almost extinct quoll.
• Miss Moo Moo got her face painted, a fairy princess of course!
• we ate bratwurst rolls with sauerkraut and german mustard.
• the kids made badges.
• we drank freshly squeezed sugar cane juice with lime and ginger.
• we followed the Pied Piper parade lead by a beautiful giant butterfly on stilts.
• had yummy scrummy, fresh salads and chicken laska for lunch proper.
• chatted to the wonderful and helpful ladies from the community gardens. I took lots of flyer's.
• we met Phoebe the bat and the lovely bat lady. Bats are sooo cute, who knew!
• we drank cappuccino's and shared chocolate macadamia cake
• we talked seeds and native plants

But the highlight, was sitting all afternoon in the glorious sunshine (sleeveless top and jeans. that's winter in Queensland!) and listening to the fantastic live music. What an amazing atmosphere.

I hope you had a lovely Sunday too.
