Melbourne Cup


Hi everyone, just  to give you a catchup. A fundraiser was held for us on Melbourne Cup Day. It was a lunch with all the bells and of course us playing violin.
We would like to extend a big thankyou to Tanya Mundt and Lisa Leadbeatter for all the work organising the Melbourne Cup fundraiser, without them it would not have happened. With the help of some very generous people at PURE CATERING – Chrissy, BELLBIRD CREEK TEA HOUSE, KENILWORTH BUTCHERY, AFFORDABLE ON ELIZABETH, MARLENE HANKINSON and GRANT MUNDT,  $500 was raised and donated to our violin trip to Europe.
Once again a very BIG THANKYOU from Astar and Rawhinia.
Tune in soon A & R

Healthy Hints Page - A little bit about the Magic of Turmeric

Freshly Picked Turmeric
If you go to Nana`s Healthy Hints Page you can find out all about the amazing healing plant Turmeric. We grow it in our garden and harvest the rhizomes in September after the plant has died back. When you cut the rhizome the inside is a bright orangey-yellow. It is what makes Indian food go that bright yellow colour.
You can use it to also dye clothes!   


We will be posting later - it has been a really full-on Melbourne Cup Week!

Tune in again,  A & R
