It's Show Time!

I got the impression from people that I am too old (or not old enough) to go to the show

Obviously I wasn't there for the rides and show bags.

But I do love the baking displays...

I dream of entering something, someday.

(I'm pretty much a CWA lady in disguise.)

And the animal displays...

In good timing, 

the rains came in just after I had just finished wandering the halls.

Not too BAdelaide? 

Actually the show is bloody great! 

Birthday Baking

Today is my dear Aunts' birthday

tonight we are going out for dinner 

so I made this cake that I have been coveting from The Kitchy Kitchen!

It's an upside-down peach and lavender number
I spent the morning in the rain in aim to pinch a lemon off a neighbours tree
(where else would one get a lemon from?)
and picked the lavender on the way back!
and having no can opener had to go ask my favourite neighbour if I could borrow hers

All in all, the cake looks like a success 
Can't wait to feast tonight!
