I’m sure De at Calico Cakes does this to panic people! It sure has that affect on me! There’s still plenty of time to buy puddings of all descriptions and sizes and fruit cakes to from De though.

And just look at these great gift options from Kangaroo Island Living Honey, including Honey roasted coffee beans. Definitely worth having a chat with Shawn and checking out his stall.

Still pretty cool at the moment, a lovely morning.

Still light on for Strawberries, Matt at Gina’s Kitchen & Field Berries tells me their crop is looking great for next week.

It’s that time of year again. Matt tells me the strawberries are coming in thick and fast today. So he and Gina will be busy tomorrow at Gina’s Kitchen & Field Berries. You know their’s are going to be juicy, sweet and delicious. I remember one night standing with the fridge door open and just eating a whole punnet, they were soooo good. Hope John doesn’t read this.

No Chocolique tomorrow, bit of a blow. Kate knew there was no point me buying extra last week to cover this week. Or suggesting John hiding it. I have a Bloodhound nose for Chocolique chocolate.

Healing Harvest Farm will be back with their beautiful eggs. Sarah was a big hit last week.
