April-May randoms

Hi everyone, I hope all is well with you. The week is getting away from me and it is only Tuesday. So just a quick update and I will be back next week. 

Last week we made our annual visit to the Balingup Golden Valley Tree Park to see the autumn colour - a little early this year, just starting, and so sad to see it so dry, but still enjoyable.  More photos next week. 

Finally it rained late last week - the first rain since we have had since October. Hopefully this link will work :) 

We have had a bumper crop of quinces on our tree this year. On Monday I made quince and grape jam. And of slices of quince

And of course because it was Anzac Day on 25th April, I made Anzac biscuits - an Australian classic - albeit a few days late. 

Did you know you can catch up on latest published magazine articles by going to Published Work in the tabs bar?

And my latest news is that a few months ago I was contacted by Pandora Archive through the WA State Library to have my blog digitised and kept on record at The National Library of Australia through Trove. 

There is a selection process. My blog was selected as it was about Western Australia and written by a Western Australian author. And it was on a subject of social, political, cultural, religious, scientific or economic significance and relevance to Western Australia. 
What an honour to be selected.

You can search Trove here: Trove - National Library of Australia

Then write Life Images by Jill in the seach box and click on Websites over on the right hand side. 

Click on my title when it comes up. Then click on View the Live Webpage in the green box on the right hand side - to bring up the latest updates. 

That's it from me for today. I will be back next week with more photos from Balingup.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I value your comments and look forward to hearing from you. I will try to visit your blogs in return. Have a wonderful week.
