Since July it had become a case of choose the days event wisely as winter had set in, instead of 3 days of QLD winter it seemed like 3 months. Even August winds (EKKA winds, this is Brisbane show time in August cancelled at the last minute again due to Covid ) had arrived early. You could feel the icy bite of snow from Glenn Innes and Armidale on the New England ranges in NSW. It made workshop time very limited even out doors although some days reached 25C.
Wind was so bad one day it collapsed the cloths line.
Sue cooking a beautiful Venison in Red Wine then using left overs to make Venison pies.
More Lilli Pilli Jam, Marmalade and Lemon Butter.
Of course slices like the Lemon and Date as well as a take on Fig Rolls these being more a Fruit and Fig roll they were cut into bite size bits.
Knitting madly to complete two vests one form John our son in law a grey one the other blue for me.
My good friend Mark who drives a KW and use to build R.F.W trucks asked if she could make him some of both brand names.
RFW was an while Australian built and designed specialist vehicle years ahead of its time. The factory located in Chester Hill NSW. Mark did his apprenticeship there. I built bus and coach bodies onto the chassis they produced during the 70's in my apprentice days at Custom Coaches.
Sadly both these companies no longer survive.
More on RFW can be found on Facebook pop in say hello.
