Tea at Wranghams
It was a damp old day today, but our spirits were raised when a few people showed up for home-hosted tea: homemade spinach bread, banana fritters, medlum juice (medlums are a delicious type of guava, but small and red) were just some of the goodies on offer!

Totally vegan, totally home grown!
Delightful home grown vegan dinner – from the garden to the table, vegetable curry!
Foraging for mulberries!
Today’s daily picking, mulberries! The mulberry tree is a gift that keeps on giving. Foraging is fun!
Butternut Squash
Butternut squash grows perfectly in the climate here in Sandy Bay – and it makes delicious soup!
