Good morning everyone. Hubby says its freezing. Isnt it nice to be in our virtual warm world for a while.
Anthony does know how to cook a tasty meal.
We all had a feed of roasted chestnuts too...yummmm
I am going to get my chocolate from Cadburys today.
Dianne, we should have a good look around Doo Town.

Karen has gone over to the cliffs to see if she can find any pretty stones.
She will join us for lunch later.
Tassie is very pretty but has some rugged areas which have their own beauty.

I will enjoy looking around Port Arthur later too.
My convict ancestors all came through there.
I cannot imagine how frightening it would have seemed to my gt gt grandfather , being only 16 and all alone without family support.
He was one of the convicts that did go on to make a success of his life, eventually having his own boot making shop in Melbourne.
His father in law also a convict, became one of the first brickmakers in the colony of Melbourne.
Some of his bricks are still going in old buildings.

Teresa, we will be seeing you soon.
How are things going in the house now ?
Moon, we will pop in for a visit to you soon too.

Charleen, tell Charley I have a large bag of cookies for him.

Better go or Dianne will go off without me.

Everyone back at the Tea Room can enjoy this delicious. Banana Chocolate Cake.

Enjoy your weekend

Jean.
