I live in Adelaide which is the capital city of South Australia. It is situated between a range of hills and Gulf St Vincent.
My husband and I moved to our present house to be nearer our adult children and their children.
I have a catholic taste in food, but my favourite is Thai.
Now that I am getting on in years, I have been making use of my slow cooker, so am really into that now.
