  2. Yum! With the golden syrup, sugar, water mix it sounds a bit like golden dumplings....but with twist. I am going to try that.

  3. Yes it is a bit different to the roly poly that I remember from years ago, but looks so delicious.
    Thanks for the memory.
    Love, Jan

  4. This recipe sounds like it could easily be adapted to use rhubarb instead of or with the apple. Might try that! Thanks for the inspiration!

  5. Hi Tania - I've really enjoyed my last hour going through your blog, a fascinating insight into you rlife. Your winters are hotter than our summers! We all get used to what we have. It was -7 degrees centigrade outside today and really dry. It didn't seem that bad really. It's fascinating to read about your use of 'shade' it's not something we think of here! The sun just doesn't get that hot. We have really rich soil here too, it's easy to collect all the leaves and grass, food scraps and make compost. How do you make compsot where it is so dry? Here, because it's wet most of the time, the compost takes years to break down and we have piles of it all over the place.

  8. Hi Tania,
    Thank you for your lovely comments on my new blog. I have quietly been following your blog for a while now. I love looking at your photos, they really bring everything to life. It looks like you have a fantastic lifestyle where you live...although very hot in the summer! Something we share. Although being on the edge of the outback i think your conditions would be more extreme. Can't wait to see more photos.

    Take Care
