Penniedarling: May 2020

Lime Cordial today using some of our beautiful freshly picked Limes.

This 'Lemon' recipe was given to me by one of my Wollogorang friends mother, Sue Selby, back in 1971 and I have been making mostly Lime Cordial because we seem to be able to grow so many beautiful Limes. Very refreshing with a real tang! Lovely.

There are still just as many Limes on our tree!

This old juicer came from Dudu, David's Grandmother... I wonder how old it would be??

Yum!

What Fun!

I belong to a Facebook Page called 'Lost Manly and Northern Beaches' and today I saw a post about the actor Tony Bonner who I remember from the TV series 'Skippy' The Bush Kangaroo. Skippy was first shown on our TV's in 1968.
Seeing the name Tony Bonner made me Post this below.

Much to my Delight... the first person to 'Like' my post was... 😊
Below is the Post I was Commenting on.

Today is 'Bring in the Bins' day! But how does this Penniedarling bring in three bins, plus the newspaper... when she only has two hands?

All off the street.

Halfway down the drive... but how did she do it!

Aaahhh... two bins are back in place, but where's the other?

... there it is... waiting, waiting, waiting for the last leg of its journey.

All back home safe and sound.

We were lucky to be able to enjoy some family this weekend, with hugs all round! How lovely to be able to get back to some normality.

A little comfort and warmth after playing in the cold outside enjoying something on the Telly!

Charlie and Remy light the fire in the sitting room in readiness for an upcoming Movie on a big white sheet hung on the bookcase... didn't take a lot of photos this time, it was so lovely chatting, eating and playing.

Remy must have been making a fortune from the Tooth Fairy lately 😀

Niall our gardener, gave the kids these puzzles, his daughter had outgrow it... Elodie and Remy did enjoy putting almost all puzzles together.

Lovely to be able to enjoy these three over the weekend, lots of work done and lots of fun with the youngest two, Emily had lots of work to enjoy back home but we will see everyone next weekend Yay!
