Lets make some cheese !

Hi hi everyone, it's me Tess coming to you from Bryan's recliner. We hope you all had a happy Christmas. We got some pretty cool presents this year. This lovely stuffie came all the way from Molly, Taffy & Monty's house in the UK. Sadly, it no longer has any stuffing but that's ok, we can still toss it around. Thanks pals.

This one that Willow has came from another dale pal in the UK. Thanks Dexter. It to has been destuffed courtesy of Lucy!

She tries to look all innocent but no one is fooled. Lucy, you're trouble girl !

We'd also like to thank our dale pals Ludo & Otto for the cool stuffie they sent us. It's gone to toy heaven now but it was fun while it lasted.

The big news here is D & B have decided to start a new venture. Last week D ordered a cheesemaking kit online. It arrived just before Christmas so now D & B are learning to make cheese They started with this simple soft white cheese called Quark which originated in Germany. Here it is hanging so all the whey drips out leaving the curd. Once it is dry enough B said he's going to make a yummy berry cake with it. I hope I get to try some.

Finally, check out this little guy. It's a baby bat that fell off its mum. Our friend Jane who volunteers for WIRES is looking after it. He thinks Jane is his mum lol. Can you see, he's eating a piece of apple.

Well that's all for today. Oh by the way, it has rained non stopped since Christmas morning. What happened to the hot Aussie summer we sang about in our song??? Actually, we're glad for this rain because it's been very dry and our garden really needed a big drink.

Have a great week everyone.

Tess xx
