A foggy morning in Perth this morning, which is rather unusual for this time of year. The golf course looked really eerie but it wasn't for long. The sun came out and it was a perfect day. On the 14 th fairway I happened to notice these pretty leaves on one of the trees that sometimes get in our balls' way. 

 

Delightful shops along Whatley Crescent , Maylands, where I bought a dress for the wedding...YAYYYY.

I am very lucky that my children all enjoy taking and sharing photos.  It is even more fortunate that Taryn and Todd take such wonderful photos of my children and share them on instagram.

 

This weekend Taryn took this photo of Chris and their friend's newborn baby , Billie ....

 

...and Todd took this photo of Tash, down south amongst the flowering Wedding Bush.  

Thankyou Taryn and Todd, I just love these and all your photos that you post on instagram.

Flowers in my garden...

 

Playing with my 35mm lens, this is my new bougainvillea in a pot.

Today we all gathered at Mandy and Graeme's to make chilli tomato chutney for Tash and Todd to give away to their wedding guests.

    Tash made up the little bags of spices to add to....

 

beautiful roma tomatoes from Fremantle....

 

and apples, onions, garlic and chilli.

 

Tash , the overseer...and notice Mandy who cut ALL the onions.

 

Men at work....Tash reading the recipe (again!)

 

We could fit four pots on the stove inside and one outside on the barbecue burner, the smell was quite strong.

 

All the little jars that Tash bought were washed and sterilized in the oven.

 

I poured the chutney into the jars, Tash put the lids on and Jo cleaned the outside of the jars.  It was a new experience for me...I've never made chutney (nor jam) before.

 

I took this photo from Mandy's stairs....Ash and Graeme were outside at this stage supervising the three dogs.  It was a wonderful afternoon, such fun and we thought the chutney tasted pretty good as well. 

 

Hard at work....
