Pumpkin festival visit today

well today was a lovely day and a visit to our local pumpkin festival was fun.  There is a small town here called kootingal and its a real community spirited day.  The locals gather and compete to see who can grow the largest and heaviest pumpkin, and boy is there some big ones there, heaven knows what you do with all that pumpkin.  Ive taken some photos of the pumpkins for you to see.

Ive also been at a friends dairy for a week to look after the goats while his brother got married in Queensland,  I had a great time there early starts of 5.30am and 90 goats to milk twice a day and feed the other 100 or so with their grain and hay.  He has a lovely family property in the Hunter Valley with goats and dairy cows.  When he returned you will see he bought home two little surprises, really cute little alpine cross does they are very much like the american type in colour.
