Lots happening here at the moment. Last weekend I painted the bathroom and gave it a bit of a tidy up. It was so nice to have an extra day to get things done.
This week we have jumped on the current trend of creating pallet gardens. I was in charge of design and my son David was in charge of creating the picture I had in my head. This is the first one, planted with Primulas.
When I came home from work yesterday there was another one completed all ready to be painted and planted. Lots more shelves this time for all my rusty bits. I am really loving how they turned out and they look wonderful against my rusty tin fence.
Outside the house there are four helicopters taking off from the airport, fighting the fires at Tom Groggin. We have had them flying over for a week now. It is really hard to get a photo with all the smoke around at the moment.
A little better.
As usual Fred was right on hand to help me take the photos although he is looking just a little bit grumpy.
The other bit of creating happened today. I always look at the amazing recipes in Country Style magazine and think to my self that I really should try some of them. Today I finally got around to dragging out one of the latest magazines and trying out a recipe that looked really good. Potato, Rosemary and Onion Bread which I was a little bit hesitant about making because handmade bread usually turns out like a rock for me. It turned out beautifully. We had an amazing dinner tonight.
