Sunday Picnics





Sorry it's been so long... so busy.

With Spring here there is no better way to spend a beautiful Sunday than with family and friends at one of our beautiful beaches.
Pack up a rug, load up the picnic basket with delicious local goodies and a nice chilled bottle of white wine and head up the coast.

Enjoy

Im not angry, I'm just disapointed


Why must old buildings be ruined with new windows?
Why?

Dome Cinema








I wish I had started my addiction to the Dome Cinema earlier.
I'm kicking myself for all the great films I have missed but to see such a great classic as Breakfast at Tiffanys for me really was the perfect beginning.
The elegance of Audrey Hepburn and the dome room mesh perfectly, lounging in the giant bean bags there were moments of pure pleasure, so wonderful to be sharing these moments with Audrey a flower on her wallpaper or a member of her fabulous party.
Good taste in films and giant beanbags are not everything... not quite.
Sally is the wonderful hostess of the evening, by standing at the back of the room she will politely but firmly let you know that we will be waiting a few more minutes for the poor souls that are running late. She is the queen of the night. At intermission (who ever decided that intermissions were to be cancelled?) everyone stumbles sleepily to the cafe, stocking up on delicious salty popcorn and another glass of wine. Pizzas purchased by the wise were delivered to their beanbags, Sally dong's her gong again indicating there is to be no dilly-dallying and the film begins again.

Applause.

Morrells Vegetarian Pies


I'm not a vegetarian nor will I ever be but god the vegetarian pies at Morrells are good. Stuffed with wholesome veges and a delicious saucy thing I couldn't quite figure out, they are satisfying without that heavy fatty after taste.


Yummy Pinwheel Scones


So good they have a following!

Blue Stools


I know they may look a little bit crazy, maybe even tacky but a splash of colour on a grey day does wonder for your spirits.
These beauty's were purchased from Sally at Staple (inside the historical PBC) and spray-painted with the brightest colour we could find.

Hope they brighten your day too.
