When Endangered is right in front of you

  This beauty was found on my office bench one morning this week. So intact, so beautiful. A bit of googling established it is a Bogong Moth. My studio and office is a giant shed so i find critters around from time to time and watch a spider in her webs, around my window overlooking the paddock, catch and wrap flies. I n googling i discovered the Bogong Moth is endangered and recorded my sighting on a website dedicated to tracking these amazing creatures . They aim to support Bogong Moth research, and promote Moth Tracker.

Turos Teszta (cream cheese pasta) - Hungarian recipe

Turos Teszta  - pasta with cream cheese I love the simplicity of this dish that speaks of winter comfort.    My mum taught me this recipe in my teens when my sister and I had to take turns to cook each weekend.- it is usually made with fettuccini, bacon, sour cream and cream cheese.

birthday #getaway #anyexcuse to drive the Diva

I am late to post but here it is.  my birthday #getaway this year was a train ride after the road trip to Queenstown. #anyexcuse to drive the Diva. We had to leave very early to make the 9.30am deadline arriving in Queenstown on time, enough to grab a coffee. The road to Queenstown is extremely winding which, needless to say, the Diva handled beautifully and V was quite happy to be driven (notwithstanding he takes calls all the time - running his car hire business on the move).  He did drive a portion of the road to give me a break over the 3.5 hours it takes. We had fun and some nice food, sparkling orange juice and Tassie chocolates.  The weather was (Tasmania) damp, chilly, not uncomfortable with random sunshine. The train trip, of 34 kilometres, on The Wilderness West Coast Railway Tasmania  is very well setup taking us through 'rugged terrain and breathtaking scenery' whilst telling of its history and that of the area.  love that little TOOT at the end We h...
