Perth, Harvey Hill Farmstay, Harvey

Check out of hotel this morning and drove down south to Harvey. We didn’t have a map but managed to find our way. It’s easy to navigate.

Reached Harvey Hill Farmstay, nice place. Very cosy, hilly view.

juz 1 pic of the unit we got.



After we rest for a while, we went to Harvey Centre to buy some food. Although it is a small centre, but they have everything. On the way back, we went to Harvey Dam to have a look. Nice place, 1st casualty of the day, mabel. She fell down when playing the playground, nothing serious, juz that I guess she was in a shock so she cried loudly.





oh yah, and this is the nissan sunny we rented:



the playground and obviously mabel has not fallen down yet.....







there was this bridge at the bottom of the bridge so we took some pictures there, hmm dun ask me why marcus is not wearing a jacket, becos i can't remember the reason why...





After we came back, I prepared the food for cooking while m&m was playing outside. Daddy was playing with them. It was a very serene feeling, how nice if we could do that in Singapore, but I know it’s impossible, becos we all need to work. Over here, we are tourists, we dun have to work and hence less worries. (yah, we juz spend money) but I really like the feeling. And I dun have to worry that m&m will be lost, basically they are safe. In fact I had to keep telling myself that they are safe, they dun need supervision.

there is this trempoline and swing juz beside our unit







then as i was cooking (gosh, this pic look so ah soh)



m&m were playing outside:





mabel was angry becos while she was holding her bottle of bubble, she bent down and half of the bottle's contents spilled out, and of course i screamed at her for making the floor wet and soapy, so she angry and she sat on the porch there, grounchy.



oh yah, then in the evening, the kangeroo on the farm came, so we went to look at it, at a distance....





We all had an afternoon nap. Then later, we woke up in the evening, m&m seems to be in concussion. They juz couldn’t wake up. So in the end, we started to bbq first, we forgot the butter, so we had to keep turning the food. (anyway, we juz had beef steak and chicken wings). We had dinner, mable woke up to join us in dinner. She drank some soup (that was the only food I cook, potato and carrot soup). Well, it’s healthy wat, meat and vege and soup. Balanced meal.

2nd casualty of the day: marcus. Dunno what happen to him, his eyes became swollen while sleeping, we suspect that he was very heaty. His eyes were really swollen, looking at him, I really felt sorry. So we let him sleep.

However, later at 10 pm, he woke up and became so active. Funny guy, funny sleeping hours. His eyes were still swollen. 3rd casualty of the day. Mr Tan. He was stung by a wasp that he caught. Well, wondered if I’ll be the next casualty.

Anyway, after typing this, I’ll be sleepy, we had a bottle of red wine, so juz nice. I’ll be sleeping near the fireplace, it is really cold in the countryside. It’s really an authentic fireplace where u had to start the fire and place some firewood inside. So got to keep the fire going. It was fun. As I was typing this, m&m were happily playing their games. Well, but I guess they are enjoying, becos even if they laugh loudly or run or bang on the floor loudly, we dun have to worry about disturbing the neighbour downstairs.

mr tan starting the fire, as usual, being a poor photographer (me), it's blur....



*yawns*. It’s not easy being a full time housewife, cooking, washing laundry, planning the route and basically m&m zaps most of my energy. On the other hand, I dun understand why I’m so easily tired.

3/7: after editing 3 days' worth of pictures and putting them on the blog, i'm tired... i'll take a break from perth holidays posting.... i'll continue day 4 tomorrow.
