Hmm, that got you in didn’t it?? Sue and I have just spent the week-end at the Melbourne Gift Fair, and while I am well aware no-one feels at all sorry for us, we worked very hard and our feet hurt!! On the up side, we did enjoy our little jaunt, and have a few pics to share….
One of my personal highlights was that Sue is back on the full-strength brew, after a few months of the decaf life…another of my friends during the same period of time declined to partake in the joys of a shoe sale…can you imagine?? I was beginning to think I would be needing to review a few friendships! But Sue was back at the coffee stand with me this trip, so all is well again. And how well do you think a few of these might go with a coffee?
How good is this set up?? This was our first order of the day - not hard to entice us! Best of all, they are not as they seem, and will cost you not one single calorie, but will be gratefully recieved nonetheless. If you guess what they are, leave a comment at the end of this post, and we might be able to find a little special something for you. Oh and here was our first French accent of the day…we were so smitten, we didn’t even find out his name, but he was certainly very French and very charming. Quite a pleasant way to start the day really.
Many hours and many steps later (18,595 to be exact - will fill you in on that another time), we gratefully ordered our dinner from a very yummy French Waiter (whose name we also do not know) who proceeded to ply us with drinks. Oh, alright, we were not hard to ply in that direction. Yes, there were only 2 of us!
On the way back to our Hotel, we were unable to resist the charm of this Carousel, so we had a little turn - so much fun, we don’t just have fun often enough. We also watched one young lad dive in and swim across the Yarra…I’m guessing it was about 3 degrees. Suspect he had an extra bevvie or two on us.
We had an early start the next day, and had a bit of company for Breakfast - although I doubt anyone running a business along the Yarra finds these little guys remotely charming! And then we spent the rest of the day buying many , many things for you all to buy. Will keep you posted as they arrive…and don’t forget to leave us a comment if you think you know what those delicious little treats are.
