Always have something to look forward to

.... to see our darling Tidds. She has graduated from her course and we just couldn’t be prouder…!

We will be up in the Blue Mountains staying with another daughter and son-in-law, helping them set out a new garden. What fun…!

Family time ~ I love it so very much :)

... so I have had a little baking frenzy!

• marmalade-poppyseed muffins
• anzac biscuits
• pumpkin and potato soup
• home made pasta
• stewed apple for a dessert of some sort…

.... a lovely lazy Sunday, enjoying a beautiful lunch at Grandvewe, Birch’s Bay..

Couldn’t have asked for a nicer day :)

... to look forward to….

Meeting LL for the first time tonight and having dinner together.. and

Ume and B coming over to visit on Friday for a few days.

What a happy week :)

... and on our stopover in Sydney we are catching up with Tidds

It is only for a few hours, but it will be so lovely to have hugs, a walk along Bondi Beach and a nice meal together:)

... a Christmas gathering with our neighbours…

Family and friends around on a beautiful day ~ couldn’t ask for more!

.... we had a lovely few days away…

The weather was just beautiful, the beaches pristine, and the accommodation superb… A recipe for a great break!

.... we’re heading off tomorrow for a few days to Saltwater Beachfront Villas in Falmouth – east coast Tasmania…

A lovely break before Christmas!

... a girlfriend and I are tomorrow morning going into Hobart for breakfast with Maggie

It is a fund raiser and book launch by one of Australia’s most loved cooks, author and restaurateur….

As we live an hour out of the city, it will be up and at ‘em before even the birds wake up ;)
