With the kids off school on Monday we decided it was a good day to go and find the Banyan Tree we had been told soooo much about. It lives in a place called the Theosophical Society Park which is not far from where we live. This is the park with the unusual opening hours. So with Mac in the pram and the other 2 on their scooters we headed off. Victor dropped us off at the main gate and left us to go exploring.
"This is it"..... not what I was expecting, I don't think I have ever seen a Banyan tree before. It has lots of limbs that apparently come from the one root system. Its branches span a huge distance and the pillars you see above are helping to keep then from falling down.
It's trully a lovely place to go for a quiet walk. With lots of beautiful plants and quaint buildings dotted around, it was fun to explore. We saw some interesting bugs and a huge snail that was just about as big as Sam's hand.

I own a convection microwave and love it..yes you can cook cakes, roasts and lovely fish dishes very nicely, the only problem I find is getting the smell of the dish out of the oven itself, but then my M/W is almost 20 years old and yours is very new, anyway I hope that you have success with that.
I'm sure tat you will be able to teach Margaret a few things in the kitchen as wellas her teaching and cooking for you and your family.
Love the 'Master' remarks...had a good cackle with those comments when I finaly figured out what you meant.
