1. I made this easy delicious banana choc pudding pie from instructables, I had to make my own base from butter and crushed bikkies as I couldn’t find a pre made base anywhere.  I’ll definetly make it again for those times when you have to bring dessert to dinner because it’s so quick.
2. I bought Fleetwood [...]

boo!

Happy Halloween everyone.
I love the idea of Halloween or at least what I know of Halloween.  Not the commercial part but the pagan festival part.  Halloween was a time to celebrate the end of harvest season “Samhain” in Gaelic culture.  So what’s that got to do with all the spookyness, ghosts, ghouls and whatnot?  Well the [...]

Christmas and Halloween

No gardening yesterday.  I am dissapointed.  James had a massive night on Saturday working basically all through the night so yesterday all he was up for was snoozing and kicking back which I totally understand.  So maybe this coming weekend we will do it.  I did potter around in the scrap studio and I watched [...]
