OH, and Denise you are a trooper and we all love you!
Well I heard that Hough as in cough somehow missed out on being with DH on their wedding anniversary and I think she should wear the Trooper hat  ;)
Chookie, Ral and myself enjoyed a nice selection of nibblies for tea and a couple of glasses of dregs and are sitting here having a few laughs over the postings. I had a mini iPad lesson from chookie and can't wait to go shopping this week (you naughty sweeties for catching me by surprise like that) I will be able to post lots of pics more easily now once I get it cranking  :-* :-* :-* The book I will always treasure and your words from each of you are inspiring. The salad servers are just divine and I will think I am the Queen of all salad makers when I put them with a salad (tho I will only use them at my house so I do not mislay them  ;))

Off to bed for me too, as it's work tomorrow.....back to earth with a thud!!

Just like to add my congratulations and thanks to CP for such a fantastic job of bringing her wonderful idea to fruition.
It was such a pleasure to meet so many genuinely warm-hearted and fun-loving people. I feel privileged to have been included in the group, and to have made so many friends.
Sincere appreciation to the lovely people who travelled interstate to be with us, that is true dedication (or decadence  :D), and the experience was much richer for having you there.

A special thanks, too, to my housemates, the gorgeous Nazar, Kezza and Hough ( as in cough).   ;)
You were so friendly and easy going. I enjoyed our chats and laughter, and cherished every minute.   :-*

Should we do it all again? Hell yeah!!!   ;D

Well, I'm putting my name down for ThermoRetreatFest 2013! I'm gong come hell, high water or husbands changing their bloody minds!
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Arrived in Brisbane at 0500. Just a short wait until 0700 for my flight to Cairns.

Beef cheeks  for dinner. Delicious.

More food in the lounge  including a selection of dried fruit.

Orchid in the loo.



Should I?
