Another creation that will be useful – a cover for my paperbacks so that it won’t be mangled in my handbag/backpack. It was also a very quick and easy knit, and a good way to use up my stash.

Baking Bread
Work has been so busy lately that baking has fallen by the wayside. I did however bake these rolls the other week. We used them for mini burgers and sandwiches.
My 1920’s Hat
I previously knitted this hat for a friend. It was so cute that I had to knit one for myself.
Camping in the Foothills – Part 15
We walked past a tangled-up tree.
To the next door neighbour’s drive way. There was a corrugated iron shed, and a field with a wonderfully green crop.
The two dogs accompanied us all the way there and back. They reminded me of Red Dog in that they loved to walk, even if it was only down the road and back. They were also very friendly, even to our sometimes anxious beagle.
It was a lovely way to end our camping trip. Early the next morning we packed up in the rising heat and humidity, and headed back home. I must say that this was the loveliest, most chilled out camping trip I’ve ever had. Even in the company of a beagle.
Camping in the Foot Hills – Part 14
We are having one last walk down the road.
This time it was hot with lots of flies.
The cows and horses were in a different paddock, but we did meet some new friends – two friendly farm dogs.
Camping in the Foothills – Part 13
The pine tree trunks river side were contorted into some interesting shapes.
But I must have one more view of the tranquil river.
Camping in the Foot Hills – Part 12
I had one last morning wander by the river.
All was beautifully still.
Camping in the Foot Hills – Part 11
The next day, we were woke up to a symphony of moos.
The cows had moved up to the area besides our camp site, and were having breakfast, playing in the river, and mooing.
Not a bad way to wake up, actually.
Camping in the Foothills – Part 10
Soon it was time to turn back.
A second helping of that awesome scenery.
With the added bonus of fading afternoon light.
And one last glare at the horsey (it’s a large dog, isn’t it?).
Camping in the Foothills – Part 9
Further down the road was a herd of cows going about their business. Bridie Beagle didn’t know what to make of these creatures either. Even larger dogs?
There were plenty of calves around. This one was suckling.
I simply loved awesome scenery of the foothills. The cattle just made it more quaint.
