Scone Time 10 May 2021

Sooo...was watching ABC and they had “Scone Time” : Aussie chefs making scones on the Landline Program...to give to lonely old folks who live alone in their local area... 

They inspired me to make some friends f my own delicious healthy version of their scones... 

In a bowl 

Mix 2 eggs, vanilla essence, a little milk

A few generous spoonfuls of Greek yoghurt

Cinnamon, dried sultanas, chopped dried apricots

Whole meal Self Rasing flour...

And viola... 

Baked in the air fryer for about 15 minutes

Topped with my homemade apple and rhubarb compote plus more Greek yoghurt... 

Add a cup of green tea

And the rest is history...yummy! 

Remembering Roza Szabo 5 January 2021

Born in Hungary; 24 June 1938

Arrived in Australia; 31st January 1957

Aboard the Aurelia ( a few months before my birth)

Lived life to the full here in her new home

Returned to Hungary; 3-4 times 

Passed away 28th December 2016 (aged 78)

Farewelled; 5 January 2017

(Dad’s birthday 4th January; Hughie’s on the 6th) 

So we chose the 5th to say goodbye! 

Still brings a tear to my eye! 

Miss you my darling mum and dad!

Dad passed 6th October 2018

Into dust 25 January 2021

Time unravels into dust 

Continue living; we all must 

Whether it hurts the heart or no

Our loved ones we must all let go...

Surely we are all just ashes 

Blowing on the summer breeze 

Life goes on; memories are flashes

Pictures deep within; we try to squeeze 

In as many as we can; to fill life’s void 

Sepia tones on old celluloid...

Pain returns each time I dream 

Makes my heart just want to scream...

Ah I know; each life does matter

Our strong hearts fracture; break; shatter...

Still; love overcomes; love does surely rule 

For; though you’ve gone; I remember you...

For all those I have lost over the last few years...

How things have changed 3 April 2021

Mum and dad are long gone 

Tim and Nana Evelyn too

Alec is still a grumpy old shit 

And I never get to see Hugh 

Deb died at 51; on her birthday 

Aunty Clare by Christmas 2012

Vanessa and her family are in Chile 

All my grandchildren so far away...

Michael’s moved to Geelong 

To make a new life for himself 

Shelley and Josh in Blakeview

It’s only 2 hours up the road...

Found peace in my surroundings 

As I now call Goolwa home 

Enjoying all she has to offer 

As we drive around; roam

Great company; much laughter

Following these amazing shores...

Got the Great Southern Ocean 

The mighty Murray River too

Lake Alexandrina, Lake Albert...

The South East is always calling 

Life beckons me onward 

So much more living yet to do...

Paid in blood Easter 2021

Hs blood has dripped

Beneath the cross 

His heart has cried

Saddened by our loss

His breath has sighed

Through cracked dry lips 

His tears; salty; pure 

Ahhh His death; our cure

All His pain 

For our souls; He endured...

But rejoice oh fallen ones 

For He will arise anon 

This blessed Lamb 

Our dear Lord’s Son!

He’s leaving home 23 February 2021

He’s leaving home 

On a jet plane 

Qantas is the one 

And soon enough 

He’ll be airborne 

Not long gone 

Just interstate 

It’s not the end 

Just a little bend 

In this game of life 

He needs to fly 

Up into blue skies 

Live a little 

Grow a lot...

Away from the security

Of my apron strings 

See what life will bring 

Over new horizons... 

Tuesday 23 February 2021

I’m back!

I’ve been away a while 

Kinda lost my smile 

My dear mum and dad 

Have passed; been sad 

I apologise for my lack 

In not keeping things on track 

Please accept my apologies 

Given time to grieve... 

I will do my utmost; my very best 

To get my site up to the test

Thank you all for understanding 

I will strive to write again

May God bless you all my friends 

I pray this makes amends...
