Still fascinated
Dear Rosemary, I am still thoroughly enjoying your blog. Thanks for going to so much trouble. I thought of you today-we went to the Make It yourself market at the racetrack, and noone had jams and pickles- you must be the boss-cocky there! It was so busy-we missed the macaroons by being 40 minutes late! It is getting very hot here, so your cold stories resonate! Jenny played at Bucasia this morning, and I sang with Patty Cawte, which is why we were late for the market! We had some German friends stay with us last week. Eungella and the platypuses were quite the hit! I learned to make a very good rhubarb cake with Dagmar showing me how! Have to grow rhubarb now! Cheers Paul
