You and buffy should start your own rival blog. <br />I am so mature that I have to say I totally get the dick and bush joke. I grew up with Mr and Mrs Ball across the road and Mr and Mrs Dick two doors down from them, I still think it's hilarious.<br />Sounds like a great weekend. Look after Kerry for us all.

Loved reading about the trip and am tempted to go there myself now.<br />And may I say that being able to make a mean boiled egg is better than my friend Katya, whose best dish is a bowl of cereal!<br /><br />Love to you and wishes of a fab weekend!<br /><br />xx Charlotta<br /><br />P.s. I'd love the Pav recipe too!<br /><br />Pps. Jess if you are reading this. I am the ball lamp woman. I am so glad your mum sent it to you.

I bet there were lots of 'double entendres' as far as the name of it is concerned !!!! haha.<br />Isn't it just the best, going away with friends and, it looks as if you all mucked in and produced some great food.... even better. I think thaat a weekend there with your MGM should definitely be on the list, Kerry.<br />Thanks for filling in for your mum, Jess. You did a great job. Maybe you should start your own blog or maybe you already have one.<br />Get better soon, Kerry. Maybe some medicinal alcohol is called for, or have you already tried that remedy ?!!

I feel quite nostalgic and as someone who take frying pan, proper knife, coffee maker and tea towels to every house I rent on holiday in Australia I am most impressed by the fact there is a paella pan in that wonderful house. xoxoJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475155333546477042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510773540672751770.post-26294885978434371272010-05-14T11:09:41.907+10:002010-05-14T11:09:41.907+10:00Hi Jess

We camp at Patonga a couple of times each year and spend every Mother's Day there, including this year as per my blog post(last week). We live on the Central Coast and people are always bemused when we tell them we are holidaying up the road at Patonga - but it really is a peaceful, little slice of sunny heaven isn't it?!<br /><br />Kerry - your daughter is creative and talented just like her Mum! Well done Jess, the post was beautiful - the food and writing very inspiring. A clever and clearly well loved lady - surrounded by lovely friends. Reminds me of the movie 'The Big Chill' - which I looove and will now go and watch again.<br /><br />Jess, you have inspired me to organise a large/scale friend event/function retreat!! So look out my friends!<br /><br />Kerry - I replied to your comment on my blog post also. You take care of yourself and you have as much comfort food as is necessary to nurse yourself back to goo health!<br /><br />Tracey at Velvetine Lily x o<br /><br />Well done Jess !Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06101678771219325267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6510773540672751770.post-58283915162432507582010-05-14T10:47:46.427+10:002010-05-14T10:47:46.427+10:00Golly!
