To celebrate this auspicious occasion I will give away 1 bag of 10 goodies for every 10 messages left on my blog. So leave a message and go into the draw. I only ever started my blog because I could see my gallery page in our website was never going to be updated so there you go.
Because we have worked all weekend (and yes the latest QA and product of month (POM) are all packed ready to post but not the big pile of orders) we decided to take this afternoon off and go up to the Swan Valley for lunch. We used to go often but not for a long time. We went to Little River where we have had many good lunches in the past and once again we had a nice relaxing afternoon. We might even do it again before too long. We seem to have known the owner, Jan, for a long long time and it was lovely to catch up again.
Bring rather lazy I stayed in the car to photgraph some of the vines but at least you can see we went to a vineyard!
Ian's lunch - lamb pie. I think the menu has been the same for ever and I think we have both had this meal every time we have been.
I had beef bourgignone - it was lovely. now we are replete and listening to Pink Martini,
Dorothy - you can never mistake a blonde even when she changes her hair colour. It's built in!

1000 posts old and still fresh as a daisy, thanks for all the tips and inspiration
I was sure that I left a message here yesterday but it must have been gobbled up by the gremlins.
Love the blog as you know by the weird comments that I leave.
Congratulations, that's a lot of blog posts. It must be getting close to your special day too. This one doesn't seem half as bad as last years, I'm not panicking any where near as much.
Congrats! I love your blog.
