Tatum's 21st Birthday

I remember Kevin receiving a phone call on the mobile phone whilst we were on our way back from Canberra..."you have a new niece!!!" It is amazing to think that 21 years have gone by. Tatum  has spent those years well becoming an intelligent, hard working and confident young woman.


Her parents, Fiona and Craig hosted the party in the Penthouse at The Bellagio Hotel in Collaroy. Good thing for us, Tatum's friends and collegues are chefs! (and her mother is a pretty incredible cook herself!)

Chef's in the kitchen...that's what I like to see...

What Now??? Brush-Turkeys.....

In the 30 years I've lived in Sydney, I have never seen a Brush-Turkey...until now. Not only that, they are wandering through my yard. I guess I will have my own personal menagerie pretty soon.

Green Fingers.....More Like Green Bugs!!!

In Oregon I had to compete with slugs and little sunshine but here in Sydney, my tomato plants have battled storms, wild winds, blazing sunshine, possum attacks and now scary green bugs! Not much I can do about the weather. I have Naphthalene out to keep the possums away. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep these pesky green creatures away from my fruit????
