clowns

I love these old carnival clowns,
these are from a school fete and the castlemaine state fair, and both operators I spoke to had had the clowns in their families for generations.....

la belle miette

this gorgeous new macaron store is at 30 Hardware Lane, Melbourne.
It is the baby of Maylin, who has more than mastered the art of macaron baking,
my favourite is the pink grapefruit and the violet & blueberry.....
La Belle Miette is a definite visit when you are next in town.




Joost cafe at Circular Quay

my recent trip to Sydney was hectic,
a trade fair, a rock concert, dinners, and a quick ferry on the harbour which delivered us here,
at the Joost pop up eco cafe, it is positioned in the most spectacular position, on the water with the opera house and bridge framed perfectly as you sit and enjoy........

I went to Sydney



we all went to the tribute concert for Harvey James from Sherbet, his sons, (my cousins) played on stage with Sherbet, it was a hot, emotional, sweaty fabulous night at the Enmore theatre...

had delights at 'the bourke street bakery'





and visited the wonderful ici et la, for all the francophiles out there, this is heaven....
