April arrived in Canberra complete with an April Fool's Day joke from Mother Nature:
...making our local landmark, Black Mountain, topped by the Telstra Tower, disappear in the morning...
...and reappear in the afternoon.
Other highlights of the month included our quarterly care package of American goodies from sister/aunt L...
...
two weekends at the coast - one to
Kioloa...
...and one to Durras Beach in
Murramurang National Park...
...where we got up close and personal with some of the locals...
...and admire some of the oldest gum trees still standing anywhere in New South Wales.
Most of the rest of April was taken up with a combination of school holidays and solo parenting, which meant juggling work with activities around Canberra - and Miss B's and my now-traditional Sunday breakfast of
crumpets when DP is away - making the batter the night before is definitely the key to success.
And my latest foray into flower arranging brings us up to date, with autumn taking hold in Canberra - the heat is on, the nights are drawing in, and the slow cooker is getting a workout. What's happening where you are?
Do you have a crumpet recipe you’d recommend now? In most of your previous mentions you don’t seem entirely happy with the results...they’ve been to my must try list for years so a good recipe would be great :)
