ReplyDeleteWe visited Norfolk twice in the Nineties and enjoyed ourselves immensely. So quiet and peaceful in the countryside.
ReplyDeleteWe also visited the markets and bought some very nice Pineapple Relish which was just so delicious. Would anyone know the recipe for this Relish....I know it would have had curry or mustard as one of the ingredients.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hello! Who are your local musicians who play traditional Norfolk Island (or Pacific Island) music? How can we find their music?
