It’s winter and that means cymbidium orchids. Totally gorgeous, they add such a gorgeous luxurious feel when it’s a bit bleak and cold outside.

The most gorgeous lunch after a hard morning looking at apartments with Miss. Very well deserved frankly!

Well here we are, the Invitational from Adelaide, very excited and looking forward to it!
I’ve made a beef casserole and opened this, McLaren Vale rarely disappoints and this has softened so beautifully.
Happy Saturday rugby 🏉 😁

A bit rustic but it tastes absolutely heavenly.
Nothing but chocolate and more chocolate including the icing, except for the dinosaurs obviously 🦕🦖

Winter on the Goldie means garden chores. My retaining wall, freshly painted is positively gleaming!

The exciting game changer here with this very ordinary looking dinner is that there is a slice of Brie in the burger and it has melted 😁
Kick off now for the #WARvLIO what a lovely rugby day we’ve had and more to come tomorrow!

First Lions match tonight, how exciting! Celebrating with a barbecue, pepper sauce and a rhubarb crumble for pud.
All rather delicious on this very cold night!

Beautiful mist on the water this morning. A very gentle walk for Apollo this morning for obvious reasons!

Spotted on my walk this morning, there are two Tawny Frogmouths in this picture, absolutely fabulously camouflaged!

Quite a dull old day so I’ve spent the morning orienting and planning.
Only a week in Paris, it won’t be anything like enough!
95 days to go!

A Moroccan chicken casserole for dins this evening to go with the Super Rugby Pacific final. Perfect winter deliciousness flavoured with preserved lemons and olives and inspired by the legend, Delia Smith’s recipe from her cookbook Winter.

I think we may have had the best of the day this morning. Home from Apollo’s walk and the rain has moved in.
A cooking day perhaps with a repeat of the Lions game in Dublin before the big game tonight!

My lovely friend @ldgower2 makes hummus in a NutriBullet. Why it’s never occurred to me to do the same is absolutely beyond me. It’s ridiculously easy, takes less than a minute and creates the most deliciously smooth and creamy texture. An absolute game changer for dips!

I roasted a pumpkin yesterday, $1.50 per kilo so fabulous value for money, and made pumpkin and Parmesan soup to go with the white sandwich loaf from Nigella’s Cook Eat Repeat.
With a dollop of pesto it was delicious and very warming. Just as well given our arctic temperatures 🥶

Despite it being so cold night and morning, my roses are blooming beautifully. This one is highly scented and I think it’s a variety of hybrid tea called Sightsaver. Just gorgeous and very welcome when not much else is flowering.
