BONFIRE NIGHT

'The Kid' had reason to celebrate when Steve flew in from England for a few weeks holiday. A Bonfire Party was organised and invitations sent out. The night was perfectly still with twinkling stars, a full moon, great food and good company. The bonfire went all night and some lasted until the wee small hours of the morning....others didn't. The next morning we enjoyed a big Aussie breakfast under the sun in the back-yard. It was a wonderful weekend.

An Evening with AMY BUTLER

Myrane has motivated and organised us into having a Girls Night Out where we will attend 'An Evening with AMY BUTLER'. This is being held at the Sofitel Melbourne on Thursday 13th November and should be an inspirational night.

STAR OF THE SEA - Fashion Parade
On the subject of inspirational nights we recently attended the Star of the Sea's Fashion Parade and Art Exhibition. The standard of work presented by the students across all levels was very high but the creativity displayed on the cat-walk by the senior girls was exceptional. The girls and parents put this down to the skill of their teacher Mrs F'. Are we surprised? Not to those who know her. Well done Mrs F'.

'Miss Italys' Shoulder Bag

Miss Italy was due to go home after 3 months with us and I wanted a little piece of Australia to go with her. As one of her great loves is ice-skating I was thrilled to discover some fabric on the bus trip, featuring ice-skates. This fabric was a 'must have' and Myrane and I spent a relaxing day making shoulder bags. Miss Italy loved hers and used it when she flew up to explore the delights of Sydney. The hope is that when using it back in Italy she will remember us and the great time she had here.

I took this photo with the bag sitting on the beautiful tablecloth she gave us when she arrived. The area she lives in are well known for producing these beautiful tablecloths and it is our little piece of Italy.
