The Weather.

The weather has been so very dramatic here.  Hot, humid days and stormy afternoons and evenings.  Sometimes we are rewarded with stunning skies, after the storm has passed.
The Hydrangeas are putting on a glorious show.  That is my photo, the rest are taken by Husband E.

Illawarra Flame Tree.

The Illawarra Flame Tree is in abundant flower locally, is it so beautiful.

Christmas Pudding.

We made our puddings yesterday at my sister in law's annual church event.  Such a lovely afternoon.
The pudding boiled for five hours and is now ready.  Auntie J made the pudding balls above for afternoon tea and saved some for the now 16 year old son, who is having his birthday today.
