[Menu Thoughts] Fried Gnocchi
Fried Gnocchi made by Laura and Malcolm
1) Prepare Gnocchi: with the help of cousin Laura,
2) Get an adult to help you fry the gnocchi (this is a long, boring process, which should be left to adults)
3) Serve the gnocchi as you wish (seen here with Bolognese sauce and mozzarella).
Pinhole Experiments
A couple of Pinhole pictures taken with the D700 and my cousin Dan, more about him and his photos soon I hope!
P.S Interested in taking your own pinhole photos with your DSLR?
DIY Pinholes:
Buy a suitable body cap (or use the one that came with your camera if you can find it and are prepared to break it) for a few quid. Drill a small hole centrally. Cut a small piece of tin foil, tape it to the inside of the cap and use a pin to poke a second hole through smaller than the first, but aligned with it.
Attach to the body and Bob is, as they say, your uncle.
The SGS
McCLelland Gallery
After a week of various extended family members telling us art galleries were boring, Malc agreed with the Tom (Nom's uncle) that his kids might enjoy some sculpture, as its a bit more tactile than other art. Bravely, Tom and his wife Sarah drove our whole party to McClelland Gallery in Langwarrin, Victoria. As you can see, James, Laura and Dan treated the Sculpture Park like a playground, which was exactly what we were hoping they'd do.
The younger two also spent sometime learning our new camera, the results of their efforts can be seen below.

The restaurant was everything you'd expect from a self-respecting private gallery. It's a well-lit space with a cabinet of expensive luxury cakes for the snacking visitor, and high quality light lunches for those who didn't have enough time to make a picnic. Witness the homemade mushroom soup, could've had a third bowl.

2011 in 12 Photos
There were some mighty lows, but I think on average 2011 turned out to be a beautiful year made/redeemed by its sunshine and heroes.
We saw the year in with some of our favourite people in one our favourite places, Mid Wales.
On Valentine's day we got two new relatives in the form of Charlie and Ella.
Malc got to see where I grew up when we spent a week with my uncle Gav in Scotland.
The death of my hero brought many more out of the woodwork.
We drank champagne to celebrate Mum's fiftieth birthday in London.
We joined Jon '22 Ton' Harris, Pete, Abi, and crew on a voyage from Northampton to Milton Keynes.
There was face painting, a BBQ, and a ton of cake at the fantastic Short Heath Community Fun Day.
We experienced the madness of beach mission, and the thrill of two great weddings.
We witnessed exceptional dancing and made several new friends at Tom and Anna's wedding.
We went exploring and photographing the hidden delights of Birmingham with Charlie- Rose and Joe.
Accompanied by our new camera, we celebrated our anniversary in the Cotswolds.
We had several early Christmases with friends and family before a second summertime...
... but that's a story for 2012.
