Stuffed jalapenos

The theory was for Lisa and I to head up to Wellington National Park for a wander, overnight camp and then hit a second walk tomorrow. But plans change. It was not that we were put off by the fact that it had bucketed down the night before, the forecast from this morning onwards lookedContinue reading “Stuffed jalapenos”

Turf-n-surf
