Recipe Notes

If you are a kitchen scales person feel free to go off Grandma’s, I just always seem to have scales with flat batteries when I need them so I always convert to cups. Cups can’t pull that rot on me…..

The Ramblings:

I’m so excited, it is now all official and I can spill the beans…. We are moving!!!!!! Matt and I have been offered a management position much closer to family, so after shearing we are moving!!!! While I really tried to make Barcaldine be home, and I have made some lovely friends there, it hasn’t ever fit quite right. In fairness, after Trinidad and Yaraka it would have had to be phenomenal to stack up. We are just so excited to be off on our new adventure!

We went to Roma last weekend to meet with our new boss and his wife. We were blown away by how awesome they are! Such considerate, genuine people who are really forward thinking and seem like they will be incredible to work for.

Matt has really loved his last 8 years at Barcy Downs, but the change of ownership has really changed the direction and feel. We can’t say enough wonderful things about the manager and his wife who came with the change over (seriously great people!) but with the way it’s structured now there wasn’t going to be the opportunities for Matt to progress. We had thought we’d give it another year or so, but this was too perfect to pass up.

The move will see us get out of merinos and into dorpers and Australian Whites in much bigger numbers. It will be a big change and a big learning curve but it will be so good for our little family. I’m particularly excited for Hazel to grow up closer to my Mum. My sister-in-law and I are also so stoked that our little girls will get to grow up with eachother. Lilah can come to us to ‘play farm’ and Hazel can go to Doug and Alex to ‘play town’, both getting the best of both worlds. So so many perks, family, friends, better schools, more extra curricular options, health care, culture, everything. I can’t wait to have a woolworths, incredible fruit and vege, a funky cafe, wineries and a cheese factory at my local too! I also think my hobbies will be much more suited to this climate…. No more knitting in 50 deg cel heat over xmas!

I could babble for hours in excitement, but shall pull myself up there. Just need to have a little proud partner brag…. I’m always proud of Matt, he’s my perfectly imperfect prince charming, an incredible Dad and overall kind human. But now he has been approached (we didn’t apply!) and offered a managers role at the ripe old age of 25!!! What a legend!
