Another double post to cover a weekend of fun! We've had a lovely one. Saturday afternoon we took a visit to friends on their 1 acre mini-estate at Deebing Heights where they are building a natural eco-system for local wildlife to take shelter in and developing a fabulous 'food forest' based on permaculture design principles. Their home is also designed to work with our natural environment so there is a lovely air flow through the home and no need for air-conditioning - very sustainable! We really enjoy spending time with this lovely couple, very down to earth and they inspire us in what they are doing with their own patch of earth, time and life - all gifts from God that we are stewards of! This was followed by a light supper when we got home then off to the Drive-In for the Jim Carey film, Mr Popper's Penguins with our sister's family. I loved it, so funny and cute and a really good message about valuing what is important in life - family, friends and special places and traditions that bring people together in community where memories are made! This weekend was my brother's birthday and so three nephews under four and seven big kids all went to visit Thomas and his friends at the Workshops then mosied home for a leisurely lunch, cake and cafe at home on our back deck! The pumpkin pie shall have to wait - this week I think! Shaun and Uriah (almost 2 aka - Uri the Russian Tank) did some gardening together as well! It was a lovely day! My raw gastronomical discovery for this weekend was gazpacho which I loved so much I made it twice! It is a raw, chilled Andulacian soup, so easy and quick to make and absolutely yummy! I topped it with avocado and coriander and had a cob of corn on the side! I've also been enjoying raw almond paste, peaches, blueberries, cherries and green juice/smoothie combos!
