Easter 2020 - COVID - 19

Easter is a special time for Christians as our Heavenly Father gave his only Son for us.
This Easter the world as we know it was very different.  This meant it was not able to be spent with loved ones but instead only with your exisiting household and homebound in an effort to contain this silent enemy COVID - 19 which had spread from China.

So we were able to spent Easter Friday at our home with our family Debbie and John.  We could do this as we could keep the 1.5 metre's between us.  We had lunch in our dinning room and it  was another opportunity to use our seldom used fine china.

Our main course was balsamic glazed salmon served over a warm citrus farra salad and a warm peach, walnut and blue cheese salad.  Debbie made the dessert which was a delicious bread and butter pudding.

Easter Saturday we enjoyed dinner at Debbie and John's home.

Another delicious dinner of woodfired pork, very crispy crackling and garlic flavoured vegetables.  Beverley provided dessert which was liquered poached pears.

It was a fantastic evening.

On Easter Monday evening this was the sky taken as we looked out from our front door.

We hope that next Easter all will be back to normal.
Cheers,
Beverley and Ross 

Debbie and John's 31 st Wedding Anniversay

On 1 April, 31 years ago our much loved friends/family celebrated their wedding and recently we hosted their anniversary dinner.

It was a fantastic evening and was such a privlige that they spent this with us.
This is our dinning room which we seldom use and it was wonderful to get out all of the good china and crystal glasses which were most fitting for this celbration.

The main course was cooked by Ross with assistance from Debbie and John.   This is normal as we all like to supervise and provide comment.

We started off the evening with a smoked salmon pate accompained by champagne.  This was our first effort at making a pate and it turned out great.

The entre was a gruyere and tomaoto tarts.  This again was our first effort and happy to say it was delicious.

Ross cooked the main course which was chilli prawn and lime pasta.  It was delicious.  He is a great cook.

Dessert was orange liqueur pears.  Another first time made.

                                                      

The happy group at  the end of the evening.

We wish them every happiness and may they have many more happy and loving years ahead.

Cheers, 
Beverley and Ross
