A mayonnaise lesson....

Following on from my last post .... Beautiful Begonias ..... I do need to finish boring telling you all about our trip to Ballarat on the Labour Day long weekend.

Here is what else I did:

Visited a Stitchery show with my aunt and her Swiss cousin, where my aunt bought me this very sweet armchair pincushion and floss catcher/scissor holder:


.... and here is just a sample of some of the beautiful stitchery that we saw.







I went to "visit" Dad at The Australian Ex-Prisoners of War Memorial....



We went for a Chinese buffet for dinner on Saturday night where I saw this great mural on the wall.


I explored the cathedral....





... and my beloved Uncle Ron gave me and my cousin (his daughter), a mayonnaise lesson.....










... and here we are with my finished product!


 The mayonnaise is delicious and now I am a convert to making my own.

So, that's a wrap for our Ballarat trip...

Beautiful Begonias.....

I haven't had a chance to show and tell all about our most recent trip to Ballarat to spend time with my dear Uncle and Aunt and attend the annual Begonia Festival.  As usual, we had a lovely time and the begonias were amazing.  But, I will let the photos do the talking.....






























Not begonias but these ceramic swans at one of the market stalls took my eye.


Stunning begonias, aren't they?  The festival is certainly well worth a visit if you ever get to that neck of the woods on the Labour Day weekend.
