CATCH UP

I'VE BEEN FORGETTING TO POST!!  i had a great train trip to bairnsdale and lakes entrance on the train, fares have been dropped drastically recently and it cost $3.60 to get home, train from bairnsdale to Melbourne, train to geelong and bus to Indented Head.  pretty good value, i'll be doing it more, exploring victoria.

there were huge storms the day before and all the way i could hear people on phones talking about trees down, power outages etc.   when i got to alan and meryl's they were cooking on a camp stove in the dark, wearing headlamps!!  outside there was a delicious aromatic chicken dish cooking in the closed bbq.  power came on just as we sat down

Next night we had the most beautiful dinner and relaxed evening,  

martinis with feet up, then bbq fragrant pork and fennel sausages and gorgeous veges, then home-made blackberry ice cream with amaretto biscuits (also home made that afternoon) and 

a lovely botrytis dessert wine

Meryl's

bread

Meryl has two of my collographs on the wall,

i'd forgotten i'd done them
