Macaroon Heaven!

If you've been reading this blog for a wee while you'll know about my history with macaroons.  If not, have a look HERE and here (where I actually get to eat one!)  I've really wanted to make them again but haven't plucked up the courage.I was obviously scarred by the whole ordeal.
Anyway, this weekend Claire and Debbie had a car dilemma. Debbie's car broke down on the way to Action World in Paihia. All I did was stagger around in my pj's while Steve got a tow rope from us. I lent them my car so they could carry on, but it wasn't like I was using it!  
I've been down in Auckland for a couple of days ( that's another story) and when I got home these were waiting for me.
( they are for Lloyd too and I promise to share them! )





 I can't believe the bother they must have gone to get them cos I'm pretty sure you can't get them up here. So I just wanted to thank them in the most public way possible! I think you two are flipping great! 
Thank you so so so much. They are the best present ever!
