| Introduction | I'm in my mid forties and live on a 130,000 hectare sheep station in Western Australia. My husband's family have been here since 1929 and he is a third generation pastoralist. Rossco and I have three adult children who love this property and lifestyle as much as we do. After family my two greatest passions are gardening and cooking, and because we are 200km from our shopping centre and our summers are scorchingly hot, both have their challenges at times....but that just makes life more interesting! Due to our relative isolation (I say relative because for a station, at 200km from town, we are actually pretty close to the suburbs) it can be hard to share produce from the paddock/garden and meals with friends, so I figured that writing a blog is a way of doing that, albeit virtually. I hope that by sharing what I've learnt, and am learning, others might be inspired to grow and cook real food for their families and have some fun experimenting with new (actually very old) ideas, like making cheese and sourdough bread. I'm hoping also to learn from my readers and look forward to reading feedback from you. |
