1.The Magnolia trees starting to bud their mid-winter beauty...



2. Reading Morality for Beautiful Girls, by Alexander McCall Smith, the third charming book in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series.

3.Riding to school with the chickens



4.Shopping at Ceres Organic Market while the chickens "pat" chickens...




5.Visiting The Steiner Store to buy pencils...the chickens are ploughing through the sketch books and working down the pencils in the most admirable way! This oasis of calm and gorgsous books and toys is very hard to leave...


6. Discovering an amazing paper cut artist

Who wants to play??? Anna???

Markets and Heights

The sun has warmed the wintery days splendidly, and the chickens and I have been enjoying Melbourne-town-life...visits to our fave fave farm, playing shops at Ceres, and blowing a bit of trash and treasure cash-booty on a very short but very high Ferris Wheel Ride...there's a few postcard shots thrown in! but what the hay! This city looks very neat...I think something should be done about it!

Down by the Inner City Farm

What a way to study Child Development, sitting at the best cafe in town, drinking coffee, my "chickens" chasing and massaging goats in the nearby paddock, the smell of peppercorn trees and hay down at the Collingwood Children's Farm..

I just had to take a few photos of the girls amazing story they set up yesterday, involving gnomes and fairies negotiating playground politics. I am so intrigued by the processing of experiences which goes on in play.
