Sunday 21st June: The shortest day of the year for us! Today dawned (well, 8 o'clocked!) sunny but then a big bank of cloud came over and warmed the air a little. Steve went to fly his aeroplanes with a friend in Oamaru and the boys and I went to Sunday School.
We had a lovely roast lunch with roast potatoes, roast carrots and roast pumpkin, followed by chocolate and apple cake.
In the afternoon the boys were let loose on the computer and tv games and at one point we had the music from three different games going at the same time in one room!
For tea I had baked some cinnamon and sultana cookies. They are meant to be dipped in runny white chocolate and allowed to set, but I ran out of time. My solution was to hardly melt the chocolate and then try to wipe it over the cookies. It looked more like mashed potato! We have just harvested the yams from two of our plants but not yet eaten them, so we told the boys they were mashed yam on top. They all believed us, but Peter and Jonathan tentatively nibbled them anyway and said how much the yams tasted like white chocolate, while Edward refused to try them!
In the evening I had a lovely chat to Jackie in Havant, and hopefully the rain held off long enough for her bbq.
