Ooooo I didn’t know about the Dick Smith possibly going out of business – I will go and get some next grocery trip because I think he did a wonderful thing to create truly Australian food products.
I’ve also been enjoying the mangos now they are affordable! 🙂

Hi again Charlie, I was hoping you could let me know a bit about Dick Smiths peanut butter & ausmite – they’re good tasting? I’ve always been scared to try them in case I don’t like them but I want to keep as many Australian jobs in Australia so I should just take the plunge. And I love your old-school plates & bowls, remind me of what my nanna used to have. Thank you for sharing IMK

Looking through your post has made me realize I need to start my Christmas baking. Is that the willow pattern on your plates and bowls? My mum may have had some of those and she gave me a cake stand. Thanks for sharing your kitchen 🙂

It’s lovely seeing all the summer fruits arrive, and mangoes seem to be coming in quite early this year. I love your G&T, I’m partial to a couple myself, and thanks to my partner’s travelling, I’ve got three bottles of gin as back up, so I think I’ll be right for the season 🙂
Your dried fruit looks lovely, I’ve got my fruit soaking too, and it’s always a nice way to start off the season…

I love your blue willow, I have some myself along with other antique blue and white patterns. Thanks for the reminder…I need to start my Christmas cake process also.

I love that you’ve taken a stand to support our Aussie food producers – standing behind them really does make a difference. With Christmas rapidly approaching I’m going to follow your lead and get the fruit for my Christmas pudding soaking this weekend!

Good for you for supporting an Aussie food producers.
Bad, bad kids for stealing mummy’s gin. So not fair!

Oh gosh, reading that your Christmas baking has begun (and late at that) just caused a wave of anxiety to wash over me… is it so close?? Need to start organizing Xmas cards and daughter’s birthday, that so conveniently falls right before Xmas, plus all the rest… aaaaaaah!
