Norma from next door rang quite early the other morning and said one of their sheep had got caught in the fence, and as Richard had already left for work would I mind going over and try to free it. She had tried but to no avail. I duly went over, studied the situatio, then went over to the other side of the fence. The sheep was so un-nerved by my close proximity that it pulled it’s head out and ran down the hill!

The Waitakere Slow Food Convivium were having a picnic after the Oratia Farmers Market closed at noon today.
This was being hosted by Mary Ann and Aldo of Ecopac who have the stall next to us at the market selling fresh baby salad greens.
In my family a Bacon & Egg Pie was always taken on a picnic so I duly made one to add to the food table.
A Bacon & Egg Pie is exactly that; pastry, bacon, eggs and seasoning.
My hands were somewhat engaged during the pastry making to take photos, perhaps next time.
A big thankyou to Mary Ann, Aldo and Alessandra, our Waitakere Slow Food Convivivor, for a wonderful picnic!
The turquoise ones are Duck Eggs!
