Its less than an hour away and the new year begins, so we wish you a happy and healthy 2012 .

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2012 from us both

This past week have spent experimenting in the kitchen .  From the Diabetic Living magazine which I get bi-monthly, I made the Mango and lime cheesecake pictured above.  Mine didn't actually look like that with the trimming of mango and lime on top so I thought the picture from the magazine would be better.  I must say that it is delicious and have had a square of it the past two evenings.  Next time I will make a smaller portion as am tempted to eat more.  The other thing I made is marinated mushrooms.  What a treat and really nice.

Its been quiet with all the events winding down for Christmas and all shopping completed, so now its the wait for Christmas morning for our present to arrive - Katrina at 9.30am.  

  

  

Lunch with the walking group at Thaifoon to celebrate the end of year.  Quite a number of people have just come back from being ill so it was lovely to see them all.  A few of us went over to the Lindt coffee/chocolate shop for a delicious rich coffee to top off the afternoon. 

We received a December count down calendar and here I am opening the 3rd.  I do hope theres a photo
of all the family, even if there isnt, we love all the photos sent and I cannot wait to open tomorrows.

Three of us did the pre walk on the Two Creeks Track from the Roseville Bridge to Lindfield on a beautiful day but the weather changed for the actual walk a few days later.  It didn't rain but was a bit overcast.  That did not spoil the walk for the 10 of us and we all enjoyed it.   At one part we had to climb thru a fence due to a land slip and Kay caught me getting thru, not very lady like. This is our last official walk for the year as next Friday is our Christmas lunch at Thai Poon in Darling Harbour.
