[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 213129, member: 1991"] G'day, people. Sharon/LDM, cold snowy weather sounds to me the ideal time to make fudge. I'm very inexperienced with cooking during a snow storm - New Zealand last year was the only time and we had run out of food, I was cooking what we had left and making do. French fried toast made with Maori damper, fried in hotel butter portions and sprinkled with sugar sachets filched from the coffee/tea supplies. Sharon/WO, 18 degrees F - brrr! That's the inside of my freezer! We've been there, last year. Glad to get out of it. TM, the book fair sounds good. We always had trouble getting our kids out of book stores, even worse than toy stores. We had another day out in the country today, looking at wedding venues for easy child 2/difficult child 2. husband has found a way to display some of my photos for you so you can see where we've been today. A little, anyway. Camelot Castle is a possible place for the service and photos, but not reception. Belgenny Farm is a possible reception only, or service plus reception option. There are two other places we haven't got photos of up yet but there's a site I've included. An interesting trivia point - Camelot Castle, where easy child 2/difficult child 2 has been thinking of having her wedding service, was used for some of the filming for the new film "Australia" which is premiering tonight.
