Lovely pictures! You would have had nice weather there today.
 I had such a lovely day yesterday -It it so nice to catch up with each other in person.  Karen's kitchen is to die for, and so is the garden and Bush that surrounds it.  Her boys are gorgeous and the food was delicious. Karen kindly gave me some of her raspberry muffins to take home, and I ate one today and it was devine. I would have eaten one yesterday, but everything was so tasty and I just couldn't fit one in.

We certainly had a great afternoon.  I always love catching up with Judy and it was so nice to see Trudy & Karen again and to put some faces to other familiar names.  Huge thanks to Karen and her bloke for their warm hospitality and for sharing their stunning kitchen!

So glad that everyone had a good time - I certainly loved meeting up with everyone! 

Cookie, hope you and DH enjoy Victor and surrounds - it is a beautiful part of SA.

I have posted the recipe for the raspberry muffins in the non-TMX recipe section - I have made them in the TMX, but cant seem to get the same texture as I do when using beaters.

Glad you all had a great catch up and thanks for sharing the photos

Today we drove over to Goolwa and on to Hindmarsh island. We had a lovely day. It was great to see water ion the Murray River.
We had taken a picnic lunch so spent all day exploring. We saw an unusual house in Port Elliott.
The lovely horse that pulls the carriage over to Granite Island.
The bridge over to Hindmarsh Island.

LOL. I am sitting under a tree in the Nuriootpa caravan park and the silly tree is dropping specks of gum onto the iPad screen. Solution.........move, but I can't be bothered.

We came up from Victor Harbor this morning. We came via Strathalbyn, then onto Mt Barker and through the hills again. It was a bit windy ( as in twists and turns) but DH said he didn't mind. It was very pretty.
Since we've been here we have been for a drive to Angaston and Tanunda. Also all round Nuriootpa.
I think it was deedub who suggested we try Linke's garlic metwurst. I could nt get any at the Tanunda Foodland but I did get some at the butcher in Nuriootpa, as well as some other German sausages. I'm sure we'll consume all that I bought and have to go back for more.

Lovely photos Cookie, guess the wineries are next on your list

Mmmmm - dreaming of garlic mettwurst. I have a friend who works for yalumba in the Barossa & before he comes to visit he always asks if I have any requests (thinking wine) - I always ask for mettwurst instead!
