Looking down to Smith's Beach |
The hacienda, originally Sioban's family home |
Looking north, love the stone work |
Sioban siting on a Gkra-dtai which means 'rabbit', its a coconut grater that you sit on |
Zesting, squeezing, pounding, I can smell it now.... beautiful citrus aromas |
Choppy, choppy choppy:) |
The Barramundi Spring Rolls with Red Nam Jim |
Gosh, the work that went into this Massaman Paste! So we made a triple quantity. |
But that work directly translates to a super delicious curry |
The hibiscus, a nice touch from Carlo |
Grilled Tamarind Chicken with Crispy Noodle and Herb Salad, it's making my mouth water. |
Sioban and Carlo, spend half the year in Yallingup and half the year in Tuscany. In class, I met a few people who had actually joined them in Tuscany for their hosted tours Mad About Tuscany. After getting to know them, and hearing the stories from others that have joined them, I have put it on my list of places to go and things to do.
A baby kangaroo, standing just outside the kitchen door. Apparently the Baldini's have been caring for it. Tooo cute |

Yep, I went for the hug, her little head was on my lap, check out her gorgeous long eyelashes! |

I will just share this song that has popped into my head, it illustrates how lucky and privileged I feel.
Life could be a dream.......
(Found the song by The Crew Cuts - Sh Boom)
