The man ROB pealed the potato and boys washed them then handed them to me 
I sliced them and pop them in to my homemade batter. 

 Than fried them in vegetable oil.

And this is what we got yummy potato scallop's

way better then a takeaway shop.

Visitor

With the heat scorching the last week we had a little visitor visit.

This little fella or lady not sure lol must of come in  for a drink from my garden that was just watered.

Scared the Jeepers out of me

I didn't dare show the boys or it will still be here as a pet.

Enjoy your week :-}

Happy Australia everybody hope you enjoy your day. 

   

Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free; 
We've golden soil and wealth for toil, 
Our home is girt by sea; 
Our land abounds in Nature's gifts 
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history's page, let every stage 
Advance Australia fair! 
In joyful strains then let us sing, 
"Advance Australia fair!" 
Beneath our radiant southern Cross, 
We'll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours 
Renowned of all the lands; 
For those who've come across the seas 
We've boundless plains to share; 
With courage let us all combine
To advance Australia fair. 
In joyful strains then let us sing 
"Advance Australia fair!"

So here's my last layer.

You just got to make sure you pack them in nice and tight.

They where alright for a first try :)
