"I like this format for telling us about the meetings. Can we start the film on time so there is time for a good group discussion after the film, but BEFORE we break for tea. Last time because it started late, we had a 5 minute discussion and then…"

New Pizza Oven

I am extremely impressed with my wonderful husband. He has just built me a fabulous pizza oven in our backyard. 

We built it after seeing how easy it can be on an episode of River Cottage (Everyday Series- Episode about Bread). He made a different base to theirs but the oven itself was really easy, finished in a day and all the materials are sustainable and relatively easy to find without costing too much (or anything).

I plan to blog about the building process as soon as I have some time, will add a link once this is done! 

So far we've had lots of yummy pizzas, tortilla's and even a roast chook in there!
