What a gorgeous weekend; I hope you had a fantastic time. A big happy birthday to my Dad who turned 70 yesterday - we can't wait to have a family celebration in two weeks.
Yesterday some friends came over for a hike in the Lane Cove National Park behind our house. We made it to Whale Rock (can you see the face?), and we found the first of the wild flannel flowers (I got a bit over-excited), and lots of raucous nesting cockatoos. Then home for a BBQ and my first attempt at a sponge cake for our friend's birthday. Here are some happy snaps...
We also spent a lovely morning on Saturday at the
Hawkesbury Harvest Farmers and Fine Food Markets
at the Castle Hill Showgrounds on Saturday. It's a great market (not
too big, not too small) with a lovely atmosphere and of course lots of
fresh produce. We picked up some beautiful spelt bread loaves, fresh
yoghurt, antipasto mix, and some greens. Although the highlight was
probably bumping into a dog show, also at the showgrounds. It was a real
life
Best In Show! Brilliant! These people are serious about their
dogs; and their dogs' hairspray.
Did you get out and about? I've been sharing lots of pics on Instagram (sbond) and
Twitter. If you'd like to follow along, let me know you are a reader. I'd love to find out more about you too.

Nice work with the sponge Steph..., my mouth is watering!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely has it been to get out and about. We have a lot of bushland around us and each day we can walk into bush - urban bush - but bush. We've been enjoying the tree orchids unfurl and bloom. So special.
