St Andrews was their local church. 🙂 I think I'll be doing another blogging workshop later in the year, Chantel. I'll put your name on my blogging list but if you see me advertise it, you contact me to make sure. xxrhonda jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962112306968959985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-52303976484190323352018-04-05T08:12:58.991+10:002018-04-05T08:12:58.991+10:00Hello Rhonda!

I am very interested in starting a blog again (I had one years ago, you were lovely enough to comment on my post about working in Sydney City as I had a photo up of St Andrews Cathedral at Town Hall and we talked about Kent Street... I also was very lucky to meet you up in the Blue Mountains at your course). Coming to your blog always feels like 'home' to me and I would love to learn more about blogging from you! I am glad your eye surgery was a success and you are recovering well! :-) Chantelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148517101102534114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-86522237122061854702018-04-03T12:43:08.139+10:002018-04-03T12:43:08.139+10:00Thanks for adding my blog up on the links Rhonda. ...Thanks for adding my blog up on the links Rhonda.

I feel the same way you do about my new hips. Hope the party was enjoyable. The painting looks lovely.

I am glad it went so well for you. Happy Birthday to Jamie, and I hope you all have a wonderful Easter. Good reading this weekend; although I was not too impressed by Huw the gardener (he had a lot of green potatoes in there) and hay is not the best insulation; straw is much more preferable since no seeds. Loved the Potato Kugel and plan to have it included for Easter dinner this year. Thanks for all you do.hopflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114510834437210015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-34225219695337818282018-03-31T11:04:17.773+10:002018-03-31T11:04:17.773+10:00So very happy that your surgery went well and the ...So very happy that your surgery went well and the outcome is so good.....harvesting and preserving/freezing/bottling still going strong. Getting toward the end now, I think there are just some capsicum and jalapenos to come in now and i will bottle those that aren't eaten fresh. Garden is ready for some broad beans, chard, kale and root vegies...hopefully enough nice weather before Winter sets in to give them a boost as not much happens during that time here in Tassie.
