Seeing as it was Pea Soup organising there was an invitation to bring our knitting. So I did. Which felt pretty cheeky given my novice status; mixing it with clever knitters like this and this and this and this. Anyway I managed a few rows on my purple fluffy hat, and admired the far more complex work of the experts.
It was lovely to meet everyone - the chat was lively and the kids were cute. I had a rare indulgence - pancakes for brunch - and Sueeeus and I chuckled over an unexpected cultural difference : the serving of ice-cream with pancakes. We do it, Americans don't. Sueeeus is off now to meet some Sydney bloggers I asked her to kiss them on the cheek from me.No photos taken as far as I know which is why I gave you my boys in a box instead. (Climber did ask me how to spell Bertie properly but clearly vagued out halfway through the process.)
Shula and I will be catching up Friday morning ...
There are some handsome young men! In a few years you'll have to beat off the young women with clubs.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a nice blog brunch!
Your morning sounds lovely!
ReplyDeletePancakes and icecream is a fantastic combination. I can't believe the Americans don't do it, given their more is more food ethos.
I am working out an itinerary for the mountains visit tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a lie. Sueees is going to get the bluemountainsmary wing and a prayer tour.
So so sorry to have missed it. I really need some knitting pointers!
ReplyDeleteLooks like Cherub's hair has grown back with a vengeance.
Ice cream with pancakes?! I think we Americans should adopt this practice. I LOVE pancakes. Especially blueberry ones. What a lovely day, meeting up. And what lovely boys you have there.
ReplyDeleteIt was really lovely to meet you on Tuesday. I wondered what your purple fluffy thing was going to be, but somehow didn't get the chance to ask. So now I know.
ReplyDeleteMore socks have to be knitted. The yarn arrived from the UK a couple of days ago. I still have the purple jumper to finish. Ohhhh pressure...
She mentioned the ice cream thing the minute we got in the car and I said What? You don't do that? Clearly I missed that part of the discussion over brunch.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming, it was lovely to have such a good turnout.
It seems you have all been having such fun with Sueees.
ReplyDeleteYour boys are so handsome!!
I'd pay $1.50 for a ticket. Is it a raffle? Will I get to win those two gorgeous creatures? And the cat too? I'd take that as well...
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice pancake brunch with Sueees. It's a wonder they don't do that in US, it is perfect, and with a bit of Maple Syrup poured over to finish it off, yum!
same as what stacey said...love the cats box
ReplyDeleteI'd pay $1.50 too - what a bargain !
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed the meet - if only i'd had another week under my belt...
As for pancakes, I don't like them with icecream as I prefer my pancakes hot, and preferrably savoury :p
A pancake without ice-cream is just a big pikelet!!
ReplyDeleteCould children be any more beautiful? Look at those eyes!
ReplyDeleteIt was great to meet you!!
I forgot to kiss the Sydney bloggers for you. I am such a scatterbrain! SORRY!!
