Hey G! :0) You have a good memory ;0) It was good! Bet it is freezing down your way, you could do with some of our sunshine, mind you, we have had the coldest longest winter I can ever remember up here!! All well here, hope its the same with you. Ax

Hi G :0) What fab pics - snow!! Our neighbour across the road came down your way 2 days ago to do a big walk with some friends and he txted to say it is snowing down there!! Straight away I thought of you ;0) What a magnificent place, one day hopefully we will venture down there to look at that wonderful countryside! Hope you and the tribe are all well. Ax :0)

Woo hoo congratulations G, well deserved look forward to seeing your creations. Ax :0)

Aren't they wonderful things the slow cookers!! Especially with large families you just throw it all in!! I cooked some corned beef in ours last night and it was lovely and tender. Can't say I have honestly followed a recipe but am off to check out those links now. I was just looking at your hummus recipe and wondered where you get the tahini from? Can you pick it up in Coles or Woolies? I have looked for it before with no success, (don't really know what it looks like?) I have for some reason 3 tins of chickpeas in my pantry that I really have to use!! Thanks G, hope you are well. Ax :0)
