Today we had my mum and her sisters over for a ladies luncheon. Oh what a wonderful time we had, laughing and reminiscing as we sat down to a morning tea of chocolate mud cake, apple & custard loaf, and a 'beesting' (which is a custard filled cake topped with honey and almonds). I had to hit the bakery nice and early to score these delicious treats!
Then for lunch we had a fresh crisp garden salad...
A bacon and cheese quiche...
A loaf of crusty homemade bread...
and a big dish of piping hot potato bake straight from the oven...
Such a beautiful way to spend the day with these awesome women that I love with all of my heart! Love Amanda xxx

Oh Amanda, everything sounds so wonderful...bet you had a lovely time. Spring is in full bloom here but fall is my favorite time of year. Do you grow pumpkins?
Thank you so much for your lovely package...I will post pics of it tomorrow. You are too sweet! Dianntha
Holy smokes - when you have company you feed them well, LOL. What wonderful treats for morning tea and that lunch sounds heavenly. Your time with your family sounds wonderful and it looks like your were surrounded with perfect weather.

Amanda, You girls sure do know how to party. You just reminded me of a cake that was right out of my childhood. My dad owned a bakery, and that bee sting cake was a favorite. Funny, in all these years, I did not remember it till now. Susan
Amanda, everything looks delicious, delightful and "delovely". I think it is so important that we arrange these special times with people we love.
It looks like a perfectly lovely day.

Blessings to you dear friend,

Hi Amanda :)
I loved this line...
"a slight gentle breeze ruffling through the tropical palm trees in my garden, tickling the butterflies and making them sigh...." (sigh)
Oh and now I'm so hungry I could just die! Will you please share the potato bake recipe? Pretty Please??

rue :)
