For weeks I had been saying I was taking TM to Rotto - the kids were more interested in telling anyone who would listen about this than in talking about taking their bikes or sand gear!
But, as we were packing, I decided I'd leave it/him/her (haven't quite decided which one yet) at home, to have a well-earned rest for a week, then literally just as we were walking out the door, I couldn't do it, I couldn't leave it on the bench, home alone, so grabbed it to take with us. And, so glad I did.
We made fun stuff - strawberry sorbet and smoothies for the kids, Bellini cocktails for the adults, iced coffees, chai masala tea and chicken korma from the Indian cookbook for a group curry night, almond biscuits (Luigi's 40 second biscuits from EDC), pikelets, I even cooked the scrambled egg in it one morning.
Gotta say, it's fantastic, especially on holiday.
