    Glad you all had a wonderful day out, the falls and wildlife are beautiful. I love seeing the parrots, always a favourite of mine when I visit Australia, I will say seagulls here are bad for stealing food, but they are not a patch on a Cockie after your chips. It's nice to see people enjoying what nature has to offer without having to spend lots of money. Enjoy your week. X

    So nice to see you enjoying the day & showcasing our beautiful country. It’s so Dry. We had to buy water last week & Summer isn’t here yet. “I still love our Sunburnt Country even with the Drought & Flooding Rains. (Thanks D. McKellar)”. The Falls really showed how little water we’ve had lately. You made a truly gorgeous Video.

      Oh thanks so much Michelle, glad you enjoyed it. It's awfully dry and so worrisome isn't it, considering we aren't even into summer yet, but the bush is still beautiful regardless. Yes the waterfalls are usually so much bigger, they've really dropped back heaps. Hope you have a nice evening and that you get some rain soon too. Take care😊

    It's hard to imagine but very worrying that everything is so dry at this time of year, isn't it. Hoping you have some spring rain, my friend.
    Have a great week. Sending hugs, Angie ❤x 🇬🇧

      @makingendsmeet  Год назад +1

      Hey Angie😊💕 Thanks so much, I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the video my friend. I did try to keep you all in mind when I went about making and editing the the video as I know not everyone may have the opportunity to travel here or see such sights… and I wanted to try make it seem like you were there with me going on the bushwalk and seeing the waterfalls too. It is such a lovely peaceful place when you're there in person.
      Thanks I hope we get some more rain soon too, it really is a worry. Normally the moss on those rocks I showed in the video is lush, soft and green not dry😟and the grass as well. The waterfalls when we've had more rain look even more spectacular too!
      Have a great week too. Sending hugs back🤗 Take care xx

    You are a kindred spirit. I have so much Tupperware. I love it and think it's a great product. I've had many of my pieces for years and I've had a few replaced. Unfortunately, Tupperware has become so pricey that most people who are just starting out can't afford it. My family teases me because I'm a Tupperware snob! Looks like a great family day. 😊

    • @makingendsmeet
      @makingendsmeet  Год назад +1

      Oh thank you Karen! We had a lovely day. Yes those Tupperware bowl sets were a gift from my grandmother many years ago and are probably classed as 'vintage' now... but they're still going strong (and get used all the time), they're so handy. They're a good example of how a quality product can last the test of time. Buying new Tupperware is definitely not in the budget at the moment!

    • @kathleenlangstaff5039
      @kathleenlangstaff5039 Год назад +1

      I hate to be a downer but Tupperware in the US is going either bankrupt or at least closing down (probably). Saw it in the news last week. I would love to buy one more piece but cannot it and evidently no one else can either. We have one rectangular box my husband's mom gave him. Back then ice cream came in a rectangular heavy paper container. To keep it fresh you transferred it to the Tupperware container. We've had it for 34 years! So treasure every piece of your Tupperware, and I hope your's last as long.

    • @karenchandler8325
      @karenchandler8325 Год назад +1

      I just got 2 replacement lids and had a bowl replaced this week. I know the company isn't doing well. I wish they had not priced themselves out of the market. If they were more reasonable and put product in some stores and on line, they might do better. But they are an amazing product and I have never found anything better. And the warranty is top notch!
