Pink...

Red...

I've decided...

I've decided to do the 'Colour Project', where you choose a colour each week, and take photos of things that are that colour. So...I'm starting with Black & White. If any of you want to do this too, let me know so I can take a look at yours - Enjoy!

My favourite walking spot...

is a beautiful place called Shearer Road. It's so green and pretty!

We often take our dog with us, and enjoy a lovely stroll in the sun.

Baking

I made these cute biscuits the other day! They can be a bit fiddly but they're delicious.

Hazelnut Pinwheels

1 1/4 cups plain four

100g chopped butter

1/2 cup castor sugar

1 egg yolk

About 1 tablespoon milk

1/3 cup hazelnut spread

2 tablespoons hazelnut meal

1. Preheat oven to moderate. Grease oven trays; line with baking paper.

2. Process flour, butter and sugar until crumbly. Add egg yolk; process with enough milk until mixture forms a ball. Knead dough on lightly floured surface until smooth; cover, refrigerate for 1 hour.

3. roll dough between sheets of baking paper to from 20com x 30cm rectangle; remove top sheet of paper. Spread dough evenly with hazelnut spread; sprinkle with hazelnut meal. Using paper as a guide, roll dough tightly from long side to enclose filling. Enclose roll in plastic wrap; refrigerate 30 minutes.

4 remove plastic; cut roll into 1cm slices. Place slices on trays 2cm apart. Bake about 20 minutes. Stand pinwheels on trays 5 minutes; transfer to wire rack to cool.

Birthday party!!

Last week, my sister Hannah turned 8!

She invited a few friends over and we celebrated with a party in our orchard

We baked a 'White Chocolate and Strawberry Gateau' for Hannah's birthday cake

And I made this cute pink bunting-

It was a lovely afternoon!

Our Snow Holiday...

In late September my family and I drove down to the Snowy Mountains where we stayed for 5 days. It was such a lovely time! We stayed in a beautiful big home, which used to be a post office.

This is the view from out the back door-isn't it pretty? ♥

It was spring, but there was still plenty of snow! Some of us went tobogganing...

And some of us (including me!) went skiing...

Here are a few other pictures of the place where we stayed.

And this maze we went to was a lot of fun. :D It took a while to get through!

It was a fantastic holiday!!!
