Sun sea surf sand and seafood

For no other reason than to celebrate seasonal delights and time to be together, we asked chef Jane to prepare our lobster and oyster feast at Rosedale this weekend.


Main course was fresh local lobster (caught yesterday) with skordalia and mixed dressed green leaves, braised chickpeas with spinach and preserved lemons, soused eggplant and zucchini, broad bean pilaf-lebanese style and warmed organic Turkish bread. The kids were very considerate and stayed asleep while food and wine were served!

The cool conditions didn't stop the big O and little A doing some "surfing" and "diving" in the rock pools and some large scale drawing on the huge sand canvas created by low tide.



Highlights for Ella were: spending quality time with her favourite people, opportunities for some air kissing while wearing designer sunglasses

getting some sand between her toes

and in her fingers

and finding her fave Mary Janes had not disappeared down the sand hole to China.
