Lá Fhéile Pádraig

Happy Saint Patrick's Day
Saint Patrick's Day has been celebrated in Ireland since before the 1600s. It was also believed to have served as a one day break during Lent, which would involve drinking alcohol, during the catholic forty day period of fasting.

Eladio

The best thing about Christmas is getting to see your family. Here is my grandson Eladio after two caramel milkshakes and a stack of pancakes!

Thai at the Rocks

Sailors Thai is one of Sydney's most delicious and authentic Thai restaurants.
A few cold Singha beers prepared us for a great lunch.
Thai food here is served in a style of authenticity with Thai herbs and spices that give complexity of flavours in the Thai tradition. Just enough heat in the chillies to lift all the dishes.
Sailors Thai is in George Street, The Rocks in Sydney is a classic 1864 Romanesque Revival style building. We had lunch in the relaxed, shared Canteen upstairs, featuring a long, gleaming zinc communal table.
Magnificently spicy and fragrant combinations made this meal a true Thai experience. 5 Stars *****
The Rocks weekend market every Friday, Saturday and Sunday where you can follow the cobblestone laneways where stalls offer a full range of unique and handmade products.
Interesting stalls with a wide range of 'stuff' and something different around each corner . . .
We also found the Hunter Valley is showcased at The Rocks Markets every Friday and Saturday.
Great Free entertainment as well, perfect to sip coffee and watch the world go by ;-}
