Lily, Karla's first "Melktert" and Karin baking Chicken Pie

Snaps from a relaxed weekend around the house, with a short trip to Freo on Sunday. Karla was working on the Sunday, and we went home at ~midday, so Karin could bake (my all-time favourite) Chicken Pie.

Next weekend, being long weekend, we may head into the bush, and pitch a tent somewhere. Blessed here in Oz.

Melktert pastry, for the crust, being mixed... 
My two girls; Karin teaching Karla how it is done.


Mum is done, while Karla (like her dad) is over-doing and over-analysing the process ;-)


All done. Karin just putting the final touches on.

Braai time. While my folks were over, Karla was finalising her readings lists and parking for Uni, which starts
on Monday. Exciting times!

Lily Sunday morning. Our baby!


Geno waiting for his poached-eggs on toasts at Ootong & Lincoln in Freo.

Freshly baked sourdough bread and hot-cross buns from one of the best bakeries in town.

Doing what most kids his age do (when we allow it, which is not that often).

Ka preparing the freshly cooked chicken for the pie. Mmm, can't wait!

Mundaring roadtrip & Karla portrait for Murdoch Uni

Mid-February (and mid-summer); I was surprised to find the dam this full at this time of the year.

The old Pump Station #1 stack towering above the tree line.




Brekkie at the hotel is especially good, as you get "infinite" toast, haha! Love the old school charm
of the whole place (originally built back in 1898).

A picture of our beautiful Karla on the eve of her commencing University.
We are so very proud of her. You go girl!

Lazy Sunday Roast

After a hot, busy Saturday, Sunday was a far more leisurely affair.

Preparing the roller lamb roast (bought from Bunbury Farmers Market). Added some Marina garlic braai salt for extra flavour.

Practising times-tables....

Done. Wrapped in foil to rest for an hour while we walked along the beach in Shoalwater.
