The 30th October, great leaps in the vegetable garden with snow peas, broadbeans and silverbeet producing. Lettuce about ready to pick and heaps of various types of seedlings growing magnificently. Potatoes also doing really well along with the recently planted blueberry.



On the 24th October, Peter and I went for our 2nd trip in the van, this time to Liffey Falls staying at the Lower Liffey Reserve. We had a wonderful time walking to the falls, walking the Bob Brown track and a day trip to the Central Highlands including Pine Lake and The Great Lake. Unfortunately, the new toilet had a glitch and had to be closed so others camped left so we were the only ones there. So lovely by the Liffey River.

All set up at the Reserve

Cathy and I went for a walk to the river and came across this orchid.
On the 22nd October, a group of us from craft went for our outing at the Glengarry Maze. The weather was quite cool and overcast at the start but warmed up sufficiently to have our meal outside.

All of us at the end

Think we will be eating a lot of tomatoes this season

Experimenting with the Weber Q. The Kebabs were great, cooked on the breakfast plate on medium heat for 5 minutes each side but the breast which I cooked on medium direct heat for 6 minutes each side was REALLY tough.
