Happy Australia Day to you all......

May you fly your flags high and wear your Aussie paraphernalia (you know all that stuff that's found in the $2 shops thoughout the country) proudly.

We decorated the deck.

 

Gum leaves and flags made a pretty table centre.

But the centre of attention was Sybil.

Each year 12 of us get together on the eve of Australia Day. It's a very relaxed time of the year, everything has calmed down after the Christmas rush. The teachers in the group and there are a few, are just getting ready to head back to work. They weren't asked to but every one brought a plate so the food was yummy. Just finger food. But l have to say the most popular thing on the menu were the ice cream sundaes. And how easy were they to do.

I'd made a raspberry coulis and a chocolate sauce. There were strawberries, crushed violet crumbles, cut up Turkish delight and choice of scoops of vanilla or chocolate ice cream. I was a bit worried with all the food that no one would be interested. They were make your own, everyone had everything, They were like a bunch of kids as they they made their sundaes and you could have heard a pin drop as they ate them. Will definitely be doing that dessert again. Might even remember to put the sliced bananas and the crushed nuts out next time.

Great idea! We used that same dessert idea at our Year 6 graduation. The kids loved it and so easy to prepare!
