I certainly was jeniwa. The little yguy is a sweet nutter. We were expecting a big bill with all the antipasti he brought to the table but it was all thrown in. It was very reasonable.

That all looks fabulous - you are certainly not going to go hungry this morning! The fruit looks delicious - I'm always way too lazy to prepare something as appetising looking as that (especially in the mornings)
-
Making me hungry just looking at all the yummy food. Those strawberries look divine :)
-
Thanks for all the photos Gretchen, the breakfast selection reminded me I have had my coffee this morning but no food. Might go and cook myself an egg. The adventure and fun has begun for all the retreaters and this day has finally come around. Have a great weekend and remember I will be there in spirit so watch what you say ;D
-
Great photos Gert.

You will be sorely missed, Judy - your's and Geoff's ears will be burning all weekend!

The photos are great and THANKS SO MUCH for posting them Gert. Really having fun here watching you all from my far-away perch.
Waiting to see what you had for lunch! Where are those goodie bags I wuz reading about? How big are they? :o I wanna see those!!!

Thanks for posting the photos Gert. Lovely to see them and live vicariously through them ;D
-
Thanks for doing such a good job with the photos, Gert. They are great and very exciting to see you all - any danger of including names with them - I know you won't have much free time, though, so maybe I shouldn't ask, I am being very greedy wanting even more of you than you are already giving us!
-
Great to see all you ladies and been trying to guess the names? Would be great to put names to the faces but still great seeing everyone :)
-
Such a wonderful time for all - thanks Gert for keeping us in the loop. Wishing you all lots of smiles and sunshine!!! ;) ;)

Golly this has a 'sign' on saying this is locked and I have no idea why. Hopefully being a moderator I can put in a reply.
We had trouble with the wifi in our house last night.
Having a wonderful time and we are sitting round the table solving the problems of thermomix world, Ral has just brought us some lovely Mocha chocolate.
Hopefully now we have wifi I can contribute to some of the posts.
-
I had the locked notification too Cookie but was able to post. Perhaps it has been unlocked by the person who locked it.
Gert I am so happy you worked out the wifi, I cannot imagine how you would have coped without your iPad working. Hope last night's chicken meal went down well and your house guests rolled up or down the hill quite safely to their own beds. Loving these photos, still more faces which haven't made an appearance yet but I'm sure by the end of the wine tour you will have snapped everyone. Goodie bags look fantastic, pity my contribution is still sitting in my cupboard - what to do with 30 packs of the South Australian icon FruChocs :D Love to you all xx
-
Here we are.(http://img.tapatalk.com/3aa9efef-2bf9-889d.jpg)
And our dear friend Tenina.(http://img.tapatalk.com/3aa9efef-2c25-a639.jpg)
Oops, just gone to make herself more beautiful.
-
Some early arrivals before we go out this morning.(http://img.tapatalk.com/3aa9efef-2cd0-60ba.jpg)
-
We have the locked sign here again. Don't know why.
Gert is going to start 'goings on 2'
-
Seems ok now.
-
We had a great night last night full of interesting conversations and Tenina was in fine form. It was Thermomixers at 10 paces.
How amazing that such a super kitchen machine has brought us all together. Which reminds me oh thanking Helene for her wonderful scrubbies and unique stickers all the way from Canada.
Also a lovely gift from Myer.
Thank you HO Au for your gift.

Looks like you are all having a wonderful time. Love the photos and being able to put faces to names.
-
Would love it if someone could list the goodie bag items since they are wonderful inspirations for future gift giving ...in between the glasses of wine, fun and laughter!
-
Great photos, it's lovely seeing everyone. Thanks for posting them. Goodie bag looks amazing!
-
It's all about the food you know(http://img.tapatalk.com/95879343-57a9-5d59.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/95879343-57b8-ac33.jpg)

ha ha Snappy and Obbie... we couldn't let them have ALL the fun, could we?! I like Judy's idea of joining in with a glass of wine. Think I'll join you Judy. Pouring some white now. :o :D
You are welcome about the goodie bag treats ;) What a great idea to do the goodie bags! As soon as I heard about it I marked the date on my calendar and decided to postpone the launch of the store's newest product so that 30 forum friends in AU could be the very first in the world to sample and 'preview' them. :-* I am truly upset that JD and MeganJane didn't get theirs :( :'( ... yet. Hope they do make their way into your hands somehow. ;)
I wonder, did HO really send little gifts? That would have been SO appropriate. If they didn't, maybe next year ;)

Yes, we are all home and have had our coffee/ drink. Thanks for a lovely evening girls. I do hope everyone helped you tidy up.
Off to sleep soon.
I have learned lots of iPad info from Gert. Thanks.
Thanks Suejen and Gert for all the photos. You have made this a most memorable weekend for all of the forum
-
Thank you all across the street for a wonderful day/ night. It has been a great ,experience being with you and sharing some fun stories. What a fantastic bunch of gals and guys we are.
Believe me if this all comes together next year it will be fun filled weekend for all. Maybe we could call it Thermo Fest for lovers of Thermothingys 2013!!
Gertbysea
-
Awesome day/night had by all! We ate a lot, some of us drank a lot, laughed a lot, travelled a lot, sang a lot...and missed absent friends a lot! Well done cream puff. We want another one!!! (join in now...) we want another one!!
:o
-
I am so addicted to this topic. Thanks all for sharing the wonderful photos. I am so so jealous!!! So glad you all had a wonderful time.
U ROCK!!!!
Admin :)

Goodmorning everyone at Margaret River.
So glad you had a wonderful time, good food and good friends. Thanks again for allowing us to share it with you with all the lovely photos.
Marie :)
-
How far is Margaret River from Perth?
Foxx, Margaret River is 267 kms from Perth, a 3 hour 18 minute drive. You obviously don't live in Australia, may I ask where you do live?
Why not pop over to the Introduce Yourself thread on the home page and tell us a bit about yourself. Our members love to greet and welcome newcomers.
-
Glad everyone is having FUN....
-
Good morning to all the early risers in Margaret River from me too. It's a pity things are drawing to a close over there, it sounds and looks like the weekend was a total success and once again CP, what a super job you did in pulling this off. I hope there aren't too many with headaches for the trip back to Perth and I wish you all safe travels to wherever your destination may be.
-
What an amazing weekend. The generosity of spirit is overwhelming. Everyone has something to offer. CP has organised just enough to allow for flexibility. Gert has give computer instructions. Cookie has organised transport. I have talked bread until I am blue in the face.(and loved every minute of it). All the WA members have hosted us blow ins , in a most inclusive manner. Ral and DD have added a little male balance to the weekend. Gifts. Have flowed from everywhere, even from Helene in Canada..
Word from members who are not using their TMX as much as they should, is that they can't wait to get home to startt TMXing.
Tenina is going to post a recipe for the Pumpkin bread we had for lunch, she is very busy, so if she runs out of time, I will post one.
Margaret River is beautiful. We have had cool nights with warm days. ( thanks Marina for reminding of the cold and damp at home,,,,) Our houses are spacious and overlook the sea.
30 seems to be a perfect size. Large enough for variety, and small enough to talk to everyone.
If there is another get together next year. You would be wise to book early.
-
Good morning.

Good morning cookie in the next room! Looks like another beautiful day here. Bacon and eggs for brekkie ?
And good morning to achookwoman and Ral downstairs. Plus some of great chees from the factory?
Wish you were here JD.
It is going to be sad to say goodbye .
Gert
-
Good morning to you too Gert. Yes bacon and eggs would be nice. I can hear you moving around upstairs. Hope you slept well.
-
I am so addicted to this topic. Thanks all for sharing the wonderful photos. I am so so jealous!!! So glad you all had a wonderful time.
U ROCK!!!!
Admin :)
Well you keep saying you would love to come to Australia so make a plan !!
If it weren't for you dear MM we would not be having this "retreat" . We were all strangers with one wee thing in common . Some of us are still a wee strange but now we are friends . ;D :-)) ;) We have learned a lot.
One of the best stories we heard last night was that Emerald Sue, along with her her DH and two children are going to make a RETURN trip across the NULLABOR Desert . Their plan is to,hire an caravan and do it all in 10 days.
We are all looking forward to hearing about that adventure!!!!!!!! ;D
Gert
-
Good morning to you too Gert. Yes bacon and eggs would be nice. I can hear you moving around upstairs. Hope you slept well.
Who would not sleep well after such a busy day . I heard all three of us up here snoring last night. Another wonderful colourful sunrise.
Gertbysea is apt.
-
I hope everyone there posts a final tribute to the wonderful weekend you have had - those that didn't make it are just hanging out for reviews.
Gert, what were Chookie & Ral doing downstairs??? It looks like a bit of arguing must have taken place over the beds LOL
-
There is another lovely king bed with ensuite downstairs. I am in the King corner. Cookie in the queen. Tenina is still asleep still in the single.
We are standing around in the kitchen chatting way and picking at food. Are your ears burning?
Gert
-
Well morning all, what a night and day. An enormous thanks to everyone, what a weekend. Was great meeting everyone and putting faces to names. So hard to believe that didnt know anyone til we met on Friday. Feel now that will be leaving really good friends behind
Thanks again
Sue
Will post more photos later
-
Would love names against photos - if possible please!!!! :) :) :)
-
Thanks for all the lovely photos ladies, I have enjoyed every minute of your weekend. Looking forward to hearing more from you all when you return home.

Thanks to Jen for cleaning the BBQ(http://img.tapatalk.com/95879344-7968-f23d.jpg)

A big, big thanks to Jeninwa for teaching me how to upload photos
-
Morning everyone, sun is out and there are some caps on the ocean but it is neverthelss relaxing :D got up this morning and the house was quiet, so I got a shock to walk into a roomful of people quietly reading their 50 shades. Wrecked the silence from there onwards, and now we are chatting away and having brekky and cups of tea. Had a fantastic day yesterday and last night (bit of a late one :-)) but someone has to do it). I love to see all the happy and smiling faces, and see the new friendships and bonds strengthened over the course of the weekend. Nazar was voted the most crazy dressed person on the bus tour, and was really enjoying her get up. Thank you everyone for being you, for coming, and making it the wonderful weekend it was. Will head to Cowaramup to gather and taste some sweeties. Maybe some would like to have a coffee fix before saying the inevitable and then hitting the road.
-
I am glad you had a great weekend, would love names / forum names to photos too.
So we know who is who.. ;) ;)

The video works for me on my laptop and through Safari on the iPad but not through Tapatalk. I had forgotten about the teeth and must admit I didn't even notice them for a while, just accepted you looked like that before it became obvious you all looked the same. I hope your GD gets a laugh Chookie.
I imagine you all have sore jaws from the amount of laughing you did over the weekend. Will life ever be the same now that you have all made new friends. What a great occasion and well done to you all for pulling it off with the help of the now famous CP and all her helpers.
-
Yep links work from safari, love the teeth, looks like you all remembered your toothbrushes as your teeth are nice and white :D
-
SueJen remembered hers Mandi but she didn't brush them this morning :-)) ;D
-
Amy, have you eaten?!?!?

LOL Hally ;D ;D ;D
Steamed vegetables and fish for my dinner. Then I had some fruit :D
-
I'm home after having dropped travellers Gert and Michele at the airport. Thanks for the company on the trip up girls.
What a fabulous weekend we have all had. I shared a house with the most wonderful people who helped make my weekend very very special. Thanks Ral, Chookie, Gert, and Tenina. I am slightly hoarse from the talking. (no wonder I have 12000 posts).
Thank you everyone for your friendship and the fun. Thanks CP all your organisation and please can I put my name down for the next one?
Gert I heard all that snoring upstairs last night too. Funny there was only the 3 of us up there too.
DD I also drank more over the weekend than I have done for some time. Your choc/cherry whatever's are so nice.
Girls, all that cleaning "......(Jeninwa, sue/ Jen ) you were ever so busy. Wasn't there anyone else in your house to help you?
I stayed up later than I have done for some time and loved it. I will probably sleep well tonight.
Thanks again everyone for a very memorable weekend. Xxxxx

How are you holding up Gert or what is holding you up???
You must be pretty bored
-
LOL ;D
-
I just looked through my goodie bag...
MY CRIO BRU IS NOT THERE!!! :'(
Oh no AMY…I was asking around this morning and ended up giving the bag to CP for her daughter…. so sorry…
Hope you are all tucked up and eating lots by now! :D
-
Nah I am good. Recharging my iPad. Bloody Mary or two. Snacks. A glass or two of Bubbles and only 3 hours to go till flight time. Reading my Kindle. And watching the forum. Pig in poo.

Thats okay Tenina, its my own silly fault for talking too much! :-))
I am nearly in bed, just doing the menu plan for the week using the book CP gave us in the goodie bag ;D And yes, I had a big dinner of steamed vegetables! :D
AMY - it isn't crio bru it's the wonderful choc covered cocoa beans
Yeah, that. The goodie that I don't have... :-))
-
Girls, all that cleaning "......(Jeninwa, sue/ Jen ) you were ever so busy. Wasn't there anyone else in your house to help you?
There's photo's of Helen doing all the vacuming and sweeping on this thread Cookie.
My sincere apologies Helen, I have now looked at all the photos and I saw you hard at work. Want a job at my house? You look very capable.
-
Just gotta tell you all what a wow of a weekend it was, please go and post pics, and comments on http://www.facebook.com/cookingwithtenina (http://www.facebook.com/cookingwithtenina) as well, so that all my fun followers can see what they could be a part of if they joined us next year…
talked Jen’s ear off on the way home, totally tired out, still under the weather, so off to bed with a big silly grin, thinking about my roomies goings on…they were all priceless…Gert you are one of a kind. Jean, you are amazing and Bess and Ral are the original Darby and Joan in oz and real darlings…
Safe travels if you are still on your way…(lay off the gin Gert) and see you all as soon as possible

(quiet toast to new life long friends!)
OH, and Denise you are a trooper and we all love you!
-
OH, and Denise you are a trooper and we all love you!
Well I heard that Hough as in cough somehow missed out on being with DH on their wedding anniversary and I think she should wear the Trooper hat ;)
Chookie, Ral and myself enjoyed a nice selection of nibblies for tea and a couple of glasses of dregs and are sitting here having a few laughs over the postings. I had a mini iPad lesson from chookie and can't wait to go shopping this week (you naughty sweeties for catching me by surprise like that) I will be able to post lots of pics more easily now once I get it cranking :-* :-* :-* The book I will always treasure and your words from each of you are inspiring. The salad servers are just divine and I will think I am the Queen of all salad makers when I put them with a salad (tho I will only use them at my house so I do not mislay them ;))
-
Off to bed for me too, as it's work tomorrow.....back to earth with a thud!!
Just like to add my congratulations and thanks to CP for such a fantastic job of bringing her wonderful idea to fruition.
It was such a pleasure to meet so many genuinely warm-hearted and fun-loving people. I feel privileged to have been included in the group, and to have made so many friends.
Sincere appreciation to the lovely people who travelled interstate to be with us, that is true dedication (or decadence :D), and the experience was much richer for having you there.
A special thanks, too, to my housemates, the gorgeous Nazar, Kezza and Hough ( as in cough). ;)
You were so friendly and easy going. I enjoyed our chats and laughter, and cherished every minute. :-*
Should we do it all again? Hell yeah!!! ;D

Gert, glad you are travelling well. Plenty of time to post photos. !!!
CP took us out to see more of this beautiful part of Margaret River yesterday. Yana, CP's daughter, Ral and I went to the Cheekey Monkey Winery for lunch. New winery, crowded with families enjoying a a Sunday lunch. We are staying with CP, who is a generous and considerate host. Looking forward to seeing a bit more today and then staying in Freo. For a few days.
Hope everyone got home OK.
THANKYOU W. AUSTRALIANS FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY.
-
Believe me Chookie it was our absolute pleasure, and I know I speak for everyone.
I haven't stopped talking about it yet, I think DH is getting a little bored or fed up.
Gert you will be home by now. I hope everything went well. Thanks for the latest set of photos.
It has been such a pleasure to meet all the "tother siders" and West Aussies.
A BIG THANK YOU TO MY HOUSEMATES AS YOU MADE IT EVEN MORE SPECIAL. (gorgeous Chookie, the wonderful Ral, the amazing Gert, and the all round exciting, informative, gorgeous, cook book author, crio bru girl Tenina. (oops nearly forgot thermal cooker extraordinaire) I so enjoyed the round table tea/ coffee/drink chats and I learned so much from all of you. Special thanks to Gert for tidying my iPad icons. I will endeavour to keep it tidy now, in readiness for next year
Xxxxxxx to everyone.
-
Video on you tube was great to put names and faces to..
thanks. :)
-
Arrived home about an hour ago, unpacked and about to hop into the shower. DH taking me out for lunch.
You will laugh at this one, girl from Myer rang and asked if I could model for the TS range of clothes on Sat and would I mind wearing a swim suit? I said once you see this uncovered body you may change your mind. Anyway gunna do it. Why not?When you are fat ya can't hide it no way so whY not flaunt it. Gert on the runway. Funny as. Miranda Kerr get yo skinny butt outta the way! Here comes Gert.
Hoot hoot!
Gert
-
Why not Gert, go for it.
Is it in at Myers, or in the mall outside
-
Fantastic Gert,
Marie
-
Why not Gert, go for it.
Is it in at Myers, or in the mall outside
Oh goodness obbie I hope it ain't outside! I'm not that brave. Anyway Sat at 1200.
Gert
-
Go Gurt,
What fun :)
-
Thats great Gert do you get free clothes? Make sure you take pics not necessarily of the swimsuit haha just joking
-
I am having a look at some of the photos on the Computer and I am so sorry girls that they are cropped and chopped. They look so different on the iPad where you can scroll and see the whole photo. I am so so sorry. What a bummer as half the stuff is missing.
Gert
-
Thats great Gert do you get free clothes? Make sure you take pics not necessarily of the swimsuit haha just joking
Might be hard taking pics. I think you may get a voucher for an item. Anyway it doesn't matter. ust a bit of fun.
Gert
-
Gert, I discovered this morning you can move the photos so you see all of the photo!! Try moving it sideways
-
Gert - isn't there a bar at the bottom of the sets of photographs that you can move to the right (or left) to see the rest of the photo in question? It means (I think!) that you can't see the whole photo in one go . . but you can see it as you scroll across . . .hope that makes sense.
-
Gert, I discovered this morning you can move the photos so you see all of the photo!! Try moving it sideways
I didn't notice . Thanks courton . I was so deflated and thought I had let everyone down.
Gert
-
I've been sliding the bar when viewing on the computer. Gert the catwalk super model, great stuff. Go get 'em Gert, you are braver than I 'll ever be.
-
Gretchen, glad to hear you are back safe and sound! Thanks for ALLLLLLLLLL those photos and the video of course which did put names to faces as others have said.
Right now I am envisioning you as a swimsuit model :-)) and thinking that you should also wear the Cleopatra headpiece which you modeled so fittingly at the retreat. :o :D :-)) :-* Would definitely be the most memorable fashion show ever staged by TS. LOL. ;D :D ;D
I'm sure SOMEONE in the audience will know enough to use your ipad to take a video while you strut yer stuff. ;)

Hi Helene. Glad you popped by. You may have heard the rumour about us coming up to your place from Mexico City. Got a recipe for us?
Everyone wants to thank you for the great stickers and super scrubbies.
Can you imagine wanting a short fat old lady to walk the walk. I may have to take my walking frame with me. I think it is soooooo funny. At least I will be among other plus sized women.
You would have loved the ThermoFest 2012 forum style.
Gert
Gert
-
Glad your home safely Gert.
All the photos were great. Thank you
Marie :)
-
Gert you would only have to open your mouth and you will leave Elle and Miranda Kerr for dead. Go girl.
-
Photos and names were great.. :)
Loved Nazzars you tube video
-
Gert was so sweet to take it wasn't she? Nazar's DH to be able to put it up for us.
-
Thanx to all involved in putting up photos, vidoes and names!! :D
-
Folks who were at the forum I seem to have two of my gifts left that I shouldn't have. If you missed out and want one pm me and I'll send it to you.
-
Gertie, I'm glad to hear you get home safely :) Good luck with modelling, hopefully they're not as diappointed as SueJen when they realise how tall you're not :-))

It is quite possible if I fall off the runway on to a punter. LOL!
Gert
-
What great fun Gert. You look excellent in colour (the orange and red you wore on the weekend).
I can absolutely see why they would want you on the catwalk.
-
You will do great Gert just make sure you have a glass of wine in your hand.
I'm trying to set up a blog with photos and info from the weekend, would you mind if I used some of your photos I'll credit you of course.
-
As I said to Gert, I am trying to set up a blog. If anyone doesn't want their picture on it please let me know. I promise Jeninwa I'll not put THAT ONE of you on
-
Oh now I want to see it Suejen. Love the new avatar.
Michele I'm glad you got home safely. Hope the flight was a good one.
-
I did have a good flight home. Window seat, no one beside me.
Got back to the Sydney, caught the shuttle bus to the carpark and found my battery flat.
I was about to ring NRMA when I saw a security fellow walk past with jumper leads, turns out he had a flat battery too. He charged his car and mine and I arrived home at 0130hrs.
l
-
Love the new avatar sue, nice photo, I still have a few photo's to post of the weekend.
More than happy for you to post photo's of me on your blog except that one?
-
Gert, from now on, you are my fashion consultant. We would fly up to see you strut your stuff if we could, but have a Birthday party that day. BU..... They will no doubt ask you again.
We have spent a lovely day with CP. What a generous host. We saw quite a bit of the extra work that CP does that isn't evident. Organizing linen, instructing the cleaner, putting out the rubbish bins, messages to home owners and she is supposed to be also running her business.
We are staying in a lovely apartment , Quest on the Peir in Freo. Hope to catch up with Hally and family on Wednesday.
Glad everyone is home safe. Cheers.
-
Ooh Jen what were you up to?
-
A flat battery is the pits Michele after a long journey :( Have you checked it this morning, as from experience, if it does it once, it will do it again. :-))
-
Not saying
-
Enjoy the rest of your stay Chookie. That is a lovely place, I noticed it the other day when Michele and I were touring.
-
Hey everyone,
Thanks for an awesome weekend and making me feel so welcome! I picked up soooo many tips and am pumped to have crammed all of your years of experimenting and knowledge in to 2 days! What a privilege.
Can I also add my thanks to CP who is just fabulous!
Take care everyone x Emma x
-

Yep CC. Think I left the internal light on. Such a dunce head.

Home from work and catching up on the photos. Work was very droll today compared to my weekend! Thankyou everyone for a wonderful weekend. It was such fun meeting you all. Will look forward to catching up again. A special thanks to Denise for everything and my housemates Michelle, Denise and Sue (so thoughtful, lovely and charming). Also, a special thanks to Kylie for being so gracious to drive me down and back - my jaw hurts from smiling, laughing and talking :-* :-* :-*
-
Tenina had Michele's dukkah for lunch. It's on her Facebook thing a ma jig.

This is our new 'home' for the next 4 days. We have been given an upgrade. Wow, what a holiday.
We have just enjoyed afternoon tea from the Goodies bag. I would like to thank the members who went to so much trouble. BLUSH! BLUSH, I can't remember who gave me these delicious goodies. Is it possible to list names and goodies of those who are willing ? I could start a new thread, will try!!! Judy and Cookie might sort me out if I mess up.
-
and one more thing....thankyou all for your goodies. That was great fun and everyone put so much thought into it.
-

She must have seen that bedroom pic of you in the bed :D Go for it, wish I could be there to clap and cheer!
PS. I did a little detour on the way home today and what do you know I ended up at the Apple store... I may be a little quiet tonight ;)
Gretch can you post me some basic instructions on how to upload photo's direct? Chookie was giving me lessons last night but I think I need to write them down
-
CP that is wonderful. I am so pleased. You will love it.
I use tapatalk for photos and find it very easy.
-
I made it home about 10.15 last night, exhausted but happy. Many thanks to Meagan for taking me to the airport, to my lovely housemates, and to CP for having a wonderful idea and following it through. It was a great weekend, and I met some lovely people.
Back to reality with a thud this morning as I unpacked and cleaned up. The family survived without me, but DH is exhausted too LOL
I had a yummy lunch with JD today, as I had some things for her, including all her goody bag items. It was lovely to see her and tell her about the weekend. :)
-
How kind of you to take them over ES. I'm glad you got home safely. It was lovely to meet you.
-
Today I had a visit from the lovely ES who came all the way from the other side of town to deliver my goodies basket. How special do you think I felt that all the beautiful gifts found their way to my house and yet my gift is still sitting in the cupboard. I was able to give Sue a few packets and anyone and everyone who visits will go home with some as well.
We had a quick lunch and chat about the retreat before I had to leave for my daily visit to the hospital but we could have talked for a couple hours more aye Sue?
Thanks everyone for your contribution to the bags, I went through it with Sue but will be doing so again shortly and I was amazed at the various ideas that people came up with to make this bag so interesting. Well done everyone and thank you again Sue for your visit - after a hectic weekend I know you would have had plenty to do at home without having to make a special trip down here. I appreciate it so much. :-* :-* :-*
-
ES, I'm glad you made it home safely :)
Enjoy your goodie bag Judy, its the least you deserve :-*
-
Judy, we all found ES to be a very special person. It doesn't surprise me that she made an effort to bring the goodies to you. Thanks Runaround sue. ( this is what Ral calls Sue).
Judy we hope you enjoy the Goodies, you may like to check to see who they are from. I have started a thread where retreater may post what they made. Ral and I had afternoon tea and them Dinner from the Goodies bag !!!!
-
What great fun Gert. You look excellent in colour (the orange and red you wore on the weekend).
I can absolutely see why they would want you on the catwalk.
I am glad to see you got home ok. How was your flight and then the drive?
I think they just needed a " senior" to add to the balance of young chicks!!
Gert
-
You will do great Gert just make sure you have a glass of wine in your hand.
I'm trying to set up a blog with photos and info from the weekend, would you mind if I used some of your photos I'll credit you of course.
Great idea . Go for your life. No need for credit as most were crap.

Have you downloaded Tapatalk HD. Registered and got to,the forum?
We can go,from there.
-
Judy I was so pleased to hear your goodie bag made it to you. How wonderful it would be to go through it. From the pictures it looks like everyone was very generous & imaginative with their gifts.
ES you are a gem taking it to JD, what a lovely thing to do.
-
In regard to the goodie bag, I didn't want to mention the special envelope I found in there until I got to the bottom of who, what, how come. ;) To all those who contributed to this little surprise I want to say a heartfelt thank you but also tell you off at the same time ;D Thank you all so much, I know it is difficult to stop people with big hearts doing what they want to do and forum members are known for their generosity and compassion. You are too kind and I am blessed to know you all.
Those who were not at the retreat but have posted messages of love and support - I thank you too.

Judy, glad ES was able to catch up, also great news Geoff is getting better. :)
Take care
-
Dear Judy
I do hope you had as much pleasure and fun delving in to your goodie bag as we did. I'm so glad you loved the special envelope too. I was in panic mode at one stage as I thought I had lost it. So glad I didn't. Special envelopes are so hard to decorate or not decorate as the case may be. :-* :-* :-* :-*
-
Stop with the thanks JD you are family.
ES is a great gal.
Gert
-
Stop with the thanks JD you are family.

I love our forum family, everyone is very special and wonderful :D
-
Well finally got on the forum, as I am doing a bit of travelling after the fantastic weekend we had I am a bit late catching up, thanks to everyone on the weekend, I think everyone was great and so so friendly and it was such fun especially the bus tour and the cocktails before lunch. We did well with the weather because a few showers have come through since then, love to all Gill :) :) :) :)
I agree with Amy xxxxxxxx
I love our forum family, everyone is very special and wonderful :D

Thank you all so much for coming and making it the special weekend it was. My treasured gifts to remind me that this forum needs converted recipes all the time, it's best to serve a salad with a classy pair of salad servers, and there is no way that you'll get rid of me now I can carry the iPad everywhere and take photos to upload here. Thank you sooooo much, it was unexpected but very much appreciated, and I'll be thinking fondly of you all when I use them xxx
-
I'll be interested in what you think of Under The Walnut Tree CP?
I had a quick flick through and it looked to have some lovely recipes.
-
I must confess that I have hardly looked at the book you kind girls gave me. I want to sit down and not be interrupted. Any day now. :-\
-
I too am home safely now. Time to rest after the red-eye then 6am flight home. It was very invigorating to come over and see the sights in the west, meet so many lovely people and get about a bit. Thank you to all. :)
-
l have been changing things around in my house now l cant find my card reader

Have arrived home safe. While we were enjoying the mild W.A weather , it had snowed twice here. It is 8 am now and 0 .
Ral and I both had a fantastic time, thanks to the kindness of the Thermomites at the retreat. Many thanks to you all.
Have just unpacked the Goodies. Better than Christmas !!! I can see the thought that has gone into each gift. Thanks to those who chose a bloke goodie for Ral, when a girlie one was not appropriate.
I do hope there will be another Thermofest. It will be different, but because of the goodwill, just as good. CP, you did a wonderful job in Organizing it. Thanks to all.
-
Last one home safely. Well done.
Gert
-
Glad to hear you are both home safe Chookie :-*
-
Glad your both home safe.
Snow :o :o :o

Yes we always like to know when our kids get home safely. I am just so happy that fellow forum lovers got to meet you at last Chookie and loved you as much as we do. :-* :-*
-
Please to hear you are both home safe and sound, lovely meeting you both Mr & Mrs Chookie :)
-
I had to download bas an ebook "under the walnut tree" as I will try to convert as many recipes as I can and by doing so will be easier xox
Thank you everyone for this beautiful book, the authors are very talented - a bit like Sam and Bella from Mastechef I think
-
Thankyou for YOUR beautiful book CP - I am having fun going through it and trying recipes I hadn't tried before. Also, I am using my Varoma a lot more too :)
-
That's great kezza It's good to hear that it's being used. Am sure you will have a lot favorites of your own in there.

ES I have at last used your cute little flowers you gave us. DD's work is having a cook a thon to raise money for some good cause. Here is our contribution.
-
They look terrific. I'm glad you could put them to good use
-
The cakes look lovely Cookie, nice decorating. I'm saving mine for my GD's birthday at the end of December - it's our favourite flower.
-
Gorgeous cookie!

Great stuff cookie.

Was at a winery having Lunch with DD when along comes the Bushtucker bus, and Silvano was driving. He remembered us of course and our group. They even had some of that MR bread to enjoy with their lunch :D
-
Sweet memories and much gratitude to you and Silvano, CP!

What fun CC.

Yep, that's him. They had another lovely lunch, and I also overheard him talking about witchety grubs andd I think they were being passed around. He said they were better than Russian clavier. I was quite happy with those little bush berries thank you :D
-
I remember trying witchery grubs and some other ants while on a bush trip in Darwin. The ants were like fizzy lime but you have o bite the heads off before you put them on your tongue so they don't bite you. Once was enough!

No, once is too many times GHM :o :o

Great pictures, Nazar.
I was in your neck of the woods last Wednesday, and as I was driving into town, I was thinking how nice it would be if I saw you....and then I did! You were driving the other way, towards the hospital. Would have preferred to bump into you on foot, and maybe go for a coffee, though. :)
