Yorke Peninsular

Yorke Peninsular, a set on Flickr.

Enjoyed a few days away in the Yorke Peninsular.  Bright and sunny but very windy on Wednesday and Thursday.  Our cabin at Port Broughton was right on the waterfront with wonderful sunset views.

We visited the Copper Coast and the interesting town of Moonta. Some great place names including Cream Puff Corner.  Want to visit Tiddy Widdy Beach next time!
 

Callum Hann

Had a great morning at Willunga Market. The 2010 runner up and 2012 All-Stars Masterchef Champion, Callum Hann from Barossa, SA, was cooking up a storm. Such a talented and lovely young man. I even got to taste one of his dishes - Lamb with fennel and apple salad in a watercress and lemon mayonnaise.

Welcome Home

Braved the awful weather and popped into the City to welcome the Australian Olympians.  We drove to Glenelg and caught the tram.  by the time we got to the City the rain had stopped and the sun came out for over an hour.  Saw several medalists and got some good photos.

 

 

Hurry up Spring

Meet Bailey - The new family pet Golden Retriever - he's a handsome boy!

We're having one of the longest, coldest, wettest Winters for many years - not what we were expecting for our first Winter Down Under.  No wonder I've taken to quilt making - they keep you warm while you work (well stitching on the binding anyway)

Here are my latest ones

 Gumnut Babies - lap quilt

 Red Flower - table runner

 Bailey's Blanket

Dragonfly - lap quilt

Winter sun

Had a great lunch with 16 friends from the BERIA group at the Seacliff Hotel - great food and conversation followed by a walk in the sun along the esplanade to burn off a few of those naughty calories!

Surrounded by UFOs

This quilting lark is soooooooooooo addictive.  I haven't got enough materials for backing or wadding for quilting so I'm gradually getting more and more UnFinished Objects.  At least I have plenty of material for the 'tops'.  Here's the next batch of projects.

 6 Christmas table mats

 A bed quilt - to be 'sashed' in one of the red or green fabrics

 a lap quilt / sofa protector for the new puppy?

another lap quilt.  Coundn't resist the cute fabric with gum-nut babies

............. Then there's a yellow and green doggy lap quilt and a retro design queen sized one for Karen in purple, green and brown
