The trees catch the morning light..
Then the distant paddock...
Tom works hard during the holidays..We make numerous creams..
He is expanding his skills in the work lab.
Not only can he make creams to their formulas...he is now able to fill them tubes...quite a tricky skill to acquire as you want to be as close to 30gm every time.
Then he learns how to seal the tubes...A real production line happening..
Love love love that sky
Boy and 'dog'
Cubby work continues...
Can you spot the white car whizzing down the hill. It,s Targa weekend in Cygnet and the rally cars are making their presence known as they roar down Wattle Grove Road. Luckily we can still get out of our place if we wish...other locals have their roads closed on Saturday.
A sunny patch down the hill..
