Lemon butter fairy cakes and Lest we forget.

Butter making. It is easier to drain the buttermilk off when it is fine lumps. I use a gnocchi paddle which is similar to a butter hand I think. One day I will make gnocchi with it.

Lemon butter and cream filled fairy cakes.

ANZAC day cake made by my sister Mandy. Before cutting the cake we had a big vintage war song sing-a-long. DH lost his uncle and great uncle in the second and first world wars, both named Edwin. 

Osso bucco

I'm feeling a little virtuous. I have Osso Bucco ready to go in the crock pot for tonight's dinner. Pretty good for a Saturday.
It's making me hungry just looking at it.

Sunrise.. when the rosy light of morning softly beams across the sky.

This is what greeted me this morning on the way back from my early morning Seminary drop off. Beautiful!

Note the encroaching high density housing in the right hand corner. So far all my direct neighbours are  single dwellings on a 900square metre block. I'm sure it won't last.
My Sis is known to climb onto her roof for photo opportunities like this. Next time I'm getting the ladder :)
