Sweet Bun for my sweet ^^

Story:
haha.. I always wanted to try bake bread, I knew how to bake cakes,pie and other minor thingy. But bread? I still have no ideas, out of the many kinds of breads, I wanted try croissant but...... it is too difficult to try it now, ingredient is hard to find in Australia, especially the small town i stay. Second choice is the sweet bun, I tried it yesterday, it turn out not bad, just a little hard(over bake, my dad ask me to calculate bills, by the time i realize is a bit over, but still good) Today I did a lot of improvement ^^ I love it; just the sausage make it sucky a bit haha

When I was still at middle school, I used to day dream, my mother will bake me sausage bun for me to take to school, but chances never came, we were poor once. Oven and learning is costly. So my dream come true by friends and family who encourage me today. Everything I do and learn is from others person than myself

Ps: choose the right sausage for the right bun ^^ and I don't create this recipe, I took it from internet; please refer to the owner I just edited a bit for my own personal taste

MT Benson's Wehls

Finally able to head to the farm after saying it for 3 weeks with valerie, always buzzing her “hey.. Tmr going farm? When U going farm?”

I wanna go farm so much because I thought to myself, since I ready to stay her permenantly, I sure treasure each moment and oppurtunity that God given to me. I wanna learn about their life and understand the farm in Aussie better. And I always wanted to take some good photo, I really think farm is a great place to practice. Today Caleb,Valerie, Amy and I are had one of best time ever in farm, farm is a beautful country lifestyle. Peter wehls the farm owner also a friend are so kind to show us around his place with a lots of  moment to appreciate. The wehls family are one of the most beautiful family in Robe I met. Along with Jessie and Leia, I forget the brother name.... nevermind I will ask again

Firstly, we have a “Road Block” of sheep haha. Nice sheeps, smelly and a lot of shit haha. They were herding it to elsewhere and was on the road when we passed by, they so afraid of humans and keep running away from crowds haha, cute. Ka wa ii~

Peter first show us around the house and the trees around them, don think the trees is a common trees, there orange and this and that, Peter knowns each kind of them.  Peter peel an orange for us haha, go for a walk in the vineyard and have a visit ANDY!! The grumpy old sheep haha. There 3 of them, not sure which is andy, oh well, moving on.

Second is dragon hunting in farm!! ^^ Peter and jessie told us, quite common we will meet a Beaker Dragon. So begin the hunting!! Whoah~ Jessie found one not even 10 minutes haha, such a great spotter she is. I can’t even see with the comouflage with the dragon have, and it is sun bathing and we disturb it by carrying it around, it just lay lazy, very OZ kind of life haha. Amazing how wild but very tame kind of lizard, doesn’t defent itself or runaway. We carry it around and taking sweet photos even kiss it haha. And back it goes to the spot we found it. We love animals~ Everything included.

Guess what next? Australia MUST DO. THAT RIGHTS! KANGAROOS~~ Wild kangaroos hunting, we hop on in peters jeeps and with some beers and goes kangaroo spotting! It is wild, the kangaroos will just come into the farm and have rest. For 30minutes drive we spotted quite a few, I was careful not to scare them off, while trying to snap some photos, but I just too afraid to scare them off, so I kept my distance.

Today is a great day, Really enjoyed every moment when peter show us around. I love the farm, I really respect it a lot, wasn’t easy to run a country farm. I really love today ^^ makes my mood gooood~~~
