What have you been doing today?

[mab19]

I'm another one with piles of paper with recipes from magazines or something I have seen on the internet and typed out.  Some I have tried and other I haven't.

[Bedlam]

Same same Mich.  One day I will sort all my pieces of paper recipes. I love my handwritten recipes on a piece of paper, silly but they are dear to me.  Some of the writers have passed.  I think I need to scan them but really it's not the same.

I love coming across recipes in Mum's writing or a very dear Aunt. I found a couple of Mums the other day when I was looking for a recipe for Tenina. It was emotive.

We (DH, myself and 2 GK's 5 and nearly 3) just got back from the Farm Stay. We left Wednesday morning and dropped them home at noon today. So tired! little darling were up at 5 each morning raring to go!
We really enjoyed the experience and the kids absolutely had a wonderful time. It was the Ferguson Valley Farmstay . I would highly recommend it to anyone ( if you live in WA). The chalets overlooked beautiful rolling green hills with cows and we could see all the way to Bunbury & the ocean. Very pretty at night with the lights in Bunbury on.
The hosts were lovely people and they made the animal feeding & tractor & pony rides so memorable for the GK's. The resident kitty even slept on our bed. Just like ours does at home.
Cubby, trampoline, playground & tennis court all for the use. Was fab!

It's sounds as though you both had a great  Saturday Judy and Cookie.
I've been planting bulbs.

What sort of bulbs did you plant CC?

We drove up to Northam today for a friends 80th. It was lovely. We didn't know a lot of people there but found his family and others from Northam so very friendly. Must be country hospitality. A lovely day. Some rather tasty food too. Although I wasn't sure about the Mars Bar cooked in Puff Pastry.

We went yo visit a dear friend who has been very ill, he is slowly coming good, but still has a nurse coming in every day to set up an IV line for medication.
On the way home we stopped at DD's. I had brought all the muddy Farm stay clothes home to my place to wash, so they were ready to drop back to her place.
A beautiful sunny day here in Perth.
