2010 Roundup + Have a Happy New Year

January 1st, 2011

Like everyone says at the end of every year – where did the year go?

It always feels as though it’s just zoomed on past, especially the last few months.

I look back through 2010 where some exciting things have happened to my life and those around me.

On the cooking, baking and eating front – life has been full of sweet treats. I look forward to exploring and designing some of the desserts I have been thinking about. Although, as I’m sure everyone knows, time just flies – whether it be with work, family, friends or a high-maintenance garden. I still have my fingers crossed that I can accomplish or further some of the goals (cooking and personal) I have set for myself this year.

Best wishes to everyone. I hope you all have a fantastic New Year!!

    My goodness what a beautiful round up of photos. Your year has truely been successful! Congratulations! The V8 cake is brilliant! Thank you for your concern. We are very much North of the floods though we did have a cyclone and major flooding on Christmas Day. However the water went down very quickly and our home is not affected by floods. Supermarket supplies are getting very low here though due to transport not getting through. Better than being in the midst of it, though!
