I hope Tec doesn't go swimming in the sea. He'd just go round in circles :-D

LindainHerriotCountry

LindainHerriotCountry Report 4 Feb 2015 22:04

SueMaid

SueMaid Report 4 Feb 2015 22:01

Oh you are so funny Linda :-P :-D

LindainHerriotCountry

LindainHerriotCountry Report 4 Feb 2015 21:47

But it is raining, she cant go swimming in the rain, she will get wet :-D

SueMaid

SueMaid Report 4 Feb 2015 21:46

No I'm not unfortunately although I could save myself. Most people I know know can swim. It is very important that children are taught from an early age because we have too many backyard pool drownings. Also a number of African and Asian people are drowned in the ocean as it's not really in their culture to swim for recreation.

I used to make Anzac biscuits when the family were young. Nice chewy ones and very easy to make. They made good lunchbox fillers and after school snacks.

She's gone to find out :-D

We will ask Sue. Are you a good swimmer Sue?

Tecwyn

Tecwyn Report 4 Feb 2015 21:37

It was a good goal :-)

Tecwyn Report 4 Feb 2015 21:35

There is a farm shop near Bala belonging to the estate of the Marquis of Anglesea - quite expensive, but they do excellent ginger biscuits, rather like the ones you describe Linda.

I believe all Australians are excellent swimmers, must be to do with the climate and access to the sea maybe.
