Surprise...

I am super excited to be in the process of crossing something new off my list :-) I am currently planning a surprise for Superman. He knows who he is if he ever gets around to reading this blog (which thankfully he doesn't know about yet)!

So I have him from Saturday afternoon until Sunday afternoon... and to be honest he won't know what hit him! I will (hopefully) take lots of pictures to share with you all as I think it's going to be the best surprise! So far it is still in the works but it will start off by visiting the beautiful Festival of Light in Circular Quay which runs from Friday 25th May 2012 until Monday 11th June 2012. It's set to be absolutely amazing!

I'm still deciding where we should do dinner but my personal favourite is definitely Pancakes On The Rocks only because my family used to visit here once a month to go to the markets on a Sunday and enjoy a lazy breakfast of pancakes! We'll be doing public transport in and out of the city as I find parking to be a nightmare and considering it's the opening weekend of the lights display I'm sure it would be even worse than normal :-)

So Sunday is the bit I'm excited about! I'm thinking it'll start with a lazy breakfast as we meander on up to Bilpin from my place :-) I took my girlfriend to a beautiful little place to have breakfast on her birthday this year in Kurrajong. It was so cute and has a beautiful garden. It's called Bellbird Echo Cafe and is well worth a visit if you're ever on your way past (or even for a special visit to wander the gardens and eat the tastiest food!).

Finally, I've decided we're going to spend the afternoon picking apples at Bilpin Springs Orchard (this part he may not be so impressed by but it will definitely be my favourite!). I'm looking forward to all the things I will be cooking the following week... from Apple Strudel to crumbles and cakes (I'm sure he'll get super excited about this part!) - Yummo!

So I will definitely get back to you about how the surprise goes and will finally be posting my Peanut Butter and Choc Chip Cookie recipe and bragging pictures of my Mothers' Day cake too tonight when I get home from work :-)

Peace x.

Trouble in paradise...

I have so much to tell you all and cross off something else from my wonderful list but unfortunately I put my trusty laptop in for a service and don't get it back until Friday!

I can tell you all that I went to. See John Butler the weekend before last and it was nothing short of amazing! He is the most talented man with such compassion :) I think I'm only a little in love :p

Anyway I hope that photo worked!! I promise to do some catch up posts when my laptop is returned :)

Peace x.
