April?? April?! Yep, you snuck up on me, that's for sure. And what a month you're going to be. Easter, birthdays, hospital treatment for the hubby, visiting friends and family, writing competitions ... Heads down, bums up! You know the picture. So let's get into it (as the YouTubers say - hehehe ...).

| a bonus photo of this wonderful sculpture by Andy Scott! |
I can hardly believe that there is a sculpture by this world-famous artist in tiny little Boonah, an hour west of Brisbane! This region was well-known for its Clydesdale horses, and Andy Scott himself came out here for the annual Clydesdale Spectacular Festival a year or two back. I may have shared a photo of this before, but it's always worth a second look. One day I will get to see his The Kelpies in Scotland.
In My Kitchen:
 |
| bought some Kangaroo Island goodies |
 |
| and a cookbook |
 |
| and there was yuzu vinegar, delicious shoyu and a metal spoon! |
 |
| you know how I love a fishy plate! |
 |
| grabbed some Mingle seasonings |
 |
| gifts from our Tassie friends |
One of our Tassie friends was up recently, and she gifted us a jar of her homemade apricot jam. How delightful.
 |
| I bought some Easter treats for Mr P. (he loves white chocolate) |
 |
| bought some things! |
My cousin from Melbourne was staying, so we took her on a country drive to our fave little towns of Kalbar and Boonah in the Scenic Rim. We always stop by the fruit and veg. shop in Boonah, to buy some local treats. The peanut butter is 99% peanuts!
 |
| and a tumbler! |
My niece organised a craft fair on the weekend, with over 70 vendors. There were a few ceramicists, so I bought this one from a lovely lady. We gifted it to our new neighbour, the young doctor. She said she now has 3 tumblers/cups, all of which came from us :=)
 |
| relishes from a Church stall |
My cousin and I went down the shops, where we spied some lovely ladies from a local church selling all sorts of homemade goodies. So we bought these. And only $4 each! (This church does so much good for charities, etc.)
 |
| another Emma Bridgewater - this one is broccoli. I am still hunting up the eggplant one |
 |
| I made walnut butter biscuits for Bookclub |
 |
| the curveball - another gorgeous piece by Terina Smith Recycling Artist! |
I adore that little inkwell! Terina makes the most beautiful copper flowers, which sit inside the sweet little inkwells and bottles that she finds. I had to add the new and blue one to my desk!
So that's it for this IMK post. Mmm, rather more than I expected! Please join in, everyone. We so look forward to your posts each month.
