    Shared Thank You’s…..

    2016 is already kicking off to a wonderful start, arriving home from our own holiday, Julesy’s BnB has seen it’s first guest for the year.  Our Japanese guests Yukihiro, Yukako and their gorgeous baby Riku stayed for 4 nights with us. Babies always bring another dynamic to our BnB, such a cute baby and always so happy, smiling and waving the whole time, such a treasure.

    Roxy however was not so sure on what to make of it all, made herself scarce, but was desperately inquisitive at times to see who this little creature was visiting her house, but she kept a safe distance.

    During breakfast I always enjoy finding out what my guests like to eat for breakfast and cater to their cultural needs, but I always like to tempt them with a few other things too, keeps things fun. Even the Vegemite has made an appearance a few times, (99% of our guests who have dared to taste it concur Australian’s are as weird as the creatures that roam the country) obviously it’s an acquired taste.

    But our Banana Bread was a clear favourite of the week, so for Yukako, I am sharing this ever popular recipe, as a thank you for being our first lovely guests for 2016, and also in appreciation of the lovely origami crane you left as a gift in your room. We were very touched. Thank you.
