Thanks for the Rabbits




Liam and I went for a walk down to Abbotsford Cove early Saturday morning and came across Flopsy and Mopsy, munching on some green grass. Anyway we thought we'd make an old favourite of ours, Rabbit Pie. Nick and Susan Hickson came over and Vicki as well, but Charlie got called out at the last minute and had to go collect a young man who fell foul of the law.





We slow cooked them in some red wine and chicken stock for about 6 hours till the meat was falling off the bone. Then, we cooked up the kidneys, added some mushrooms and bacon, parsley and a spoon of Creme Fraiche and the mix was made. You have to have home-made pastry for this sort of treat so Anne whipped up her Short Crust Pastry and then filled the pies - here's the result - served on mushy peas with buttery mashed spuds, Brussel sprouts and a green salad. Simply Delicious!

Liam Rides the Fire Truck


Look at me!! No fear. One of the girls at day care is so lucky, her Dad is a Fireman. Anyway, he brought the fire truck in for us to see and it arrived with its sirens wailing and lights flashing. Then, the fireman came in and talked to us all and then he let us sit in the drivers seat! I wanted to jump on the back so I could be just like a real fireman, racing off to put the blaze out! I was the only one who jumped on the back too.
