Make note: Must do better in that department.
It is hard though when so much is going on here.
We had a barbeque and in typical Kiwi fashion no-one came empty handed. It's usual for guests to 'bring a plate' NOT just a plate! But a plate with something on it, I have heard of some funny stories of British guests turning up at Kiwi get togethers with just that! A Plate! So funny! I'm glad to say that I wasn't one of those Brits hahah! Phew. It works so well too, there is always a great selection of delicious food. When I think back to some of the parties we hosted and went to back in the UK it was so unfair of guests to assume that the hosts would provide all of the food, and such a burden for the hosts, in not just costs but time. I much prefer the Kiwi way.
I have to give a special mention to Glen, our neighbour, who if he ever gets fed up with dairy farming he should open a dessert shop, he makes the most devine cakes. Yesterday he brought over a cheesecake with liquorice, a pineapple upside down cake and a banoffie pie that was to die for. So thank you Glen XX
Glens liqourice cheesecake filled in for the birthday cake Joe didn't make! ;-D
Michael bought me the ABBA singstar and Joe got the mics. My lovely guests will have to come back to enjoy this pressie! I bet they can't wait..........
It is the 1st of March today and supposedly the start of Autumn, but if the temperatures were anything to go by I think I might just hang out for the Autmn equinox on March the 21st.
That dragonfly pendant is very pretty!
