Cecilia you call this nice weather. I think it's cold.
May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

I've arrived in Gracetown  ;D Just letting you know what I have got so far for your house fridges so it makes it easier to know what else you need to bring :

1kg yoghurt
1 doz eggs
bacon rashers
butter
local bread loaf - wholemeal (on order for Fri pick up)
2 litres hi lo milk
1 litre orange juice
bowl of mixed fresh fruit (buying tomorrow)

1 bottle of no name red & white Margaret River wine (not bad, just sampling a glass of the white for everyone now out of a sense of duty...)

Got the meat, salad ingredients, and garlic bread.

My fridge is loaded and I've got my fingers crossed the safety glass doesnt crack under the load.

Think I had one Malteser too many on the trip down and so its a small tea tonight. I have one question - how long do you cook a boiled egg in the Thermie steaming basket  ;D ;D ;D is it 14 mins, Varoma, Speed 1?

I still need the book CP. I hope you aren't lonely. Thanks for all your work and especially for tasting the wine.

Hi CP from glorious Mount Barker 8 degrees at the moment would guess Gracetown would be about the same. Is it best to bring our own tea and coffee. (for the whole house)

not really feeling that cold cos I'm nice and cozy inside. Some houses do provide tea and coffee and as these may fluctuate with some bookings, I would say bring your own cos then you will be happy with your cuppa
