St Patrick's Day

 We usually celebrate St Patrick's Day with an Irish Cream and other Irish flavoured treats.

There's no nicer way to eat cabbage than in an Okonomiyaki Japanese Pancake.  

Not very Irish.

Traditional silverside with potatoes, carrots and cabbage.  Very yummy.

Second week in Perth.

The weather has been quite nice to be working outside, and Perth is a lovely little town with lots of friendly people.

Working in Perth.

We will be working in Perth for the next three weeks.  We have already had three days there.  It's such a lovely place to work with lots of history and older style homes and really modern ones as well.

As you arrive into Perth there is a huge notice to say that Perth was settled in 1821.

There's a noisy flock of cockatoos that live in Perth.

Feeling Tropical

We have had a really lovely summer this year with temperatures in the high 20's, even today it got to 27 degrees, and it's the second day of Autumn.

We had a little get together the other weekend and it had a lovely tropical feel to the proceedings.
