Great Nannas 94th

Tomorrow is Great Nannas 94th birthday, so today we gathered for afternoon tea. The we is the local Newcastle clan and us. Sisters, aunties & uncles, cousins, grandchildren and great grandchildren. We travelled up the freeway to join in. It was nice to catch up and check out some of the photos from the recent wedding we attended of DH's relies.

While we were eating birthday cake and chatting, our nephew took our kids off to eat some mulberries since the trees fruit is now ripe and ready for eating. They came back with him full of mulberries, they didn't eat any, but he did manage to convince them to pick some of them for him. Needless to say there was lots of stained purple hands.

It wasn't until after the drive home that I discovered TJ's nice white shoes are now also stained purple where she had walked under the mulberry tree. I've managed to clean off a lot of it, but the underneath - the sole - just has mulberries stuck in the grip. Its really quite funny to look at. I have no idea how she got so much mulberry juice everywhere.

I so should've had my camera. We are so busy always doing things that to have them just being kids - country kids really - is just beautiful.
