Spent the weekend at home , for a change. Our Hauraki Gulf trip had been cancelled due to heavy rain on Friday. As it left from Half Moon Bay I was not too disappointed but we did not do very much with the day apart from the usual meandering along Ponsonby Road looking at the shops in the morning and a visit to the food hall in the evening.
In between I made a second batch of peach chutney from a new NZ book from the library, Pick, preserve and serve by Chris Fortune - this recipe containing cinnamon , cloves and grated fresh ginger and tastes very delicious. Our Golden Queen peach tree is laden this year and so far the peaches have been spared brown rot and attacks from the birds.
Sunday we sallied forth to Newmarket to look at whiteware seeing our frig had leaked a trail of water across the kitchen floor during the night and by the time we had got from the Warehouse at one end of Broadway to Farmers at the other end we succumbed to a 10% discount offer on an already reduced price on a new stove and frig and ordered these to be delivered Tuesday.
