THE HAIR

It's Tropfest (a short film competition in Australia) time, so I wrote a little film.

The film will be finished this week - but here are a few stills.

Can you see the hair?

This is what it turns to.

Isabella was well impressed.

But happier with the wigs we had.

So cool.

Oh Greta.

ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END.

After 2 & 1/2 awesome weeks Granny is going back to the UK.

This is moments just before we lose her.

And this is the moment that Isabella was told.

It was all too much for one of us.

BEN'S BIRTHDAY WEEK OFF.

My Mummy is here. So I took the week off. And we had a few adventures.

Including a walk to Bronte along the coast (with Colin).

A lovely dinner - where is was my Birthday cake. Awesome.

I went out for a lovely walk with Isabella. Who wanted a little drive first.

She's loving her granny being here.

She feeds her.

I love being with my Daddy and Grandma.
