JD- depending on your freezer space Decor have a clear plastic pastry storer (about $10) into which I can get 2 packets of pampas pastry I usually have 1 puff & 1 shortcrust in mine and find they protect the pastry really well. They are the perfect size to fit into my side by side fridge freezer. I bought mine from Woolies.

Freezer space is usually non-existent VHJ but I will have a look at this container for sure.

Great job on the pic and review JD 
So many great reviews to read lately from everyone!!  loving it.

I use large snap lock bags for my left over pastry (the ones I have currently are Hercules brand Large 27x33cm).  They just fit the cardboard cover and the extra pastry sheets from a 10 or so sheet pack - not sure if they'd fit the larger pastry packs of 20 or whatever they are.  You can then squeeze the extra air out and seal - really good at keeping it safe from drying out in the freezer.

Thanks for all the good ideas on freezing pastry.  I usually wrap mine in foil,  but after a while the edges go funny and I have to cut them off.

I haven't made this recipe for years but it was worth making again, this time I used some topside (not my favourite cut of beef) and it did take an extra 15 minutes of cooking.  I made 4 pot pies, topped with potato & cauli mash and really enjoyed them.  Served with stir fried vegies for lunch today and with peas & spinach yesterday.
