We're leaving for the country this morning, so will be offline for a couple of days. We always time our drive to coincide with being in Malmsbury at lunchtime. In the cooler months they make the BEST steak and kidney pies. We usually eat at the nearby Malmsbury Botanical Gardens - so picturesque, and full of agro geese and ducks who want part of everyone's lunch! Sometimes when it's very chilly we sit in the car facing the gardens, a nice outlook, and even then the ducks and geese will come up to the car door, waiting for a handout.
I was going to post photos of my latest book creations, but Blogger isn't co-operating this morning. Will do that when we get back on Monday.

Speaking of Steak & Kidney pies, my personal favorite brit delicacy is pork pie! I love all those meat & pie combos, but have never found a place in the U.S. that does them well.
Val, feed those ducks! They sound adorable!
Well Val your heading away for a stay just as nineteenth centuries Melbourne’s wealthiest residents used to do in escaping the summer heat, but perhaps you’re a tad early?
Thanks to Baron Ferdinand Von Mueller and others who provided many plants for your botanical gardens in Malmsbury, Kyneton and Daylesford’s Wombat Hill.
Have great time.
Best wishes
Hope you had a fabulous time. Can't wait to see pictures.
You'll be back, and I will be away. A European Millennium Conference (thats librarian's talk for those wondering!)
