birthday surprise




it was my birthday late last week and my children surprised me with a huge chalk mural in our backyard, filled with sweet messages plus lots and lots of hearts. They also put together their pocket money and bought me these 2 cookbooks. I like Richard Till's cooking style as well as his use of retro kiwi tea towels and cooking gear - his brand of conversational cooking reminds me a great deal of Galloping Gourmet chef, Graham Kerr, whose show used to air in the 1960s/1970s. Plus the christmas cookbook is a real treat. I'm always on the look out for yummy christmas recipes.


then my mother surprised me with a pair of beautiful, hand embroidered pillowcases that she'd made. For me there's nothing more special than heartfelt gifts. All in all , it was a day of lovely surprises!
