Scottish Style Christmas In July

This year for our Christmas in July dinner, we decided to do a Scottish food theme, so we are incorporating a few Scottish food recipes into our Christmas in July weekend. I have added a few Scottish recipes to the blog over the years but would definitely like to add more. It was a busy weekend of cooking and washing copious amounts of dishes. We made tattie soup. Mealie pudding. Haggis bon bons. Lorne sausage. Kilted soldiers with honey mustard glaze. Tattie scones. Fruit pudding. And Whisky sauce. Merry Scottish Christmas in July. 

Mures Upper Deck

We received a gift voucher for Mures upper deck from the kids for our 25th wedding anniversary in December 2024 and still hadn't used it, so we took the opportunity when we stayed the night in Sandy Bay on Saturday when Cerys was having a sleepover. We had never been to the upper deck before, it over looks the waterfront, really pretty. We chose the share platter. It was absolutely delicious. We also shared a baked alaska.

Heading Home

We woke up to some beautiful snow on the mountain. After breakfast we had a look around the grounds before heading off. Before heading out to Snug to see if we could get some duck eggs, we went to cascade brewery to get more photos of the mountain, the brewery looks stunning with the snowy mountain back drop. We stopped of at Gordon foreshore reserve to take some photos. We came across a market in Woodbridge where I bought some spices and balsamic vinegar. I didn't get duck eggs but did manage to get some Quails eggs. We had lunch at Hungry Jacks. I also bought some other Tasmanian goodies.
