@dollycreek Thanks Chris, yes I am but I don't think Noel and the kids think the same. hehe Are you enjoying 365? Perhaps in the next week or so we could go for our bush walk and see what we might find?
June 4th, 2014  
@dianeburns Good idea! Yes, I am enjoying it but occasionally I get a little overwhelmed, I find it a bit daunting!
