Garry and I both got up early to check out the produce at the local farmers market. Local growers from all around set up stalls with organic produce, maple syrup, meats, bakery treats, flowers and coffee. We tried rabbit twiggy sticks, asparagus flour spiced chips, sweet and sour popcorn and freshly picked strawberries. The range is incredible and all within 50 km of us. We also found some lean bacon and grass fed free range (old fashioned) chicken eggs for breakfast tomorrow. Garry knows the way to my heart. He even promised to cook it all on the BBQ for me.
Check out the delicious meat pie we bought for lunch. It’s a first as they don’t seem to do meat pies here. We were all drooling as it heated up in the oven.
Adam spent the day with one of our neighbours who owns a gaming shop. He has now discovered the pleasures of Warcraft and taco pizzas. Apparently the day went really fast.
In the afternoon we went shopping for some padded pants for me (no not incontinence, skating) and a new helmet. Most people wear the helmets which is good because we’ve heard a few heads hit the ice and it’s not pretty.
I’ve included a few pics of the girls from across the street, Bailey and Chloe. It’s Bailey’s birthday party tomorrow and we’ve been invited over. She’s turning four.
We have spent the evening ice skating, talking with family at my lovely Aunty’s birthday party over FB and finalising travel arrangements for our trip to Banff in a weeks time. Everything is starting to go by quite fast now. We will be home in no time.
Goodnight beautiful people Jxx.
