Mother's Day Ideas...

Point + Shoot : 10



Sunday 10am 18th April
Glenferrie Road Festival




I suppose one the benefits of having a husband that lives and breathes bicycles, is that he is always willing to travel for a great coffee.

He has been pestering me to visit one of his early morning hangouts (he has a few depending on where he cycled too that day) in Hawthorn.

Boy I was so not disappointed - Liar Liar Cafe (or "Kinkora" to cult followers) had that perfect blend of  modern but comfy interior, friendly welcoming staff, trendy music and TOO DIE FOR coffee. It just so happened that our little visit coincided with a massive street festival with rides, farm animals and Banana's in Pajamas so Louise was equally as pleased.



Hope you all had a great weekend

Some Sunshine and More



I have been a little remiss in blogging about some awards I have received for this blog. I suppose it comes down to feeling like I am 'blowing one's own trumpet' - which is not something I am normally comfortable in doing. However, the 2 lovely bloggers who passed these awards on should be thanked publicly and I apologise for my tardiness.

Melissa @ Suger Coat It has awarded me the Sunshine Award.

Sarah @ Just Me has awarded me the One Lovely Blog Award.

I thank you both for your generous comments about this blog. I enjoy popping in and reading both of you so much, so if anyone who reads this hasn't made the trip - I encourage you to do so, you won't be disappointed.

For the Sunshine Award I need to list some things that make my happy:

Spending time with:

My family
My 'sisters'

and

In Nature:

Blue skies with wispy white clouds
Butterflies flitting around my garden
Pelicans soaring on the thermals
Bird song in the morning especially magpies carolling
Looking out my study window at the beautiful climbing rose given to me by a friend

I need to pass these awards on, it was hard to narrow down the list, but choosing one blogger for each award, I am sending these to:

One Lovely Blog Award to Rianna at The Last Doll Standing - truly a beautiful blog tended to by a beautiful soul, always filled with lovely things.

The Sunshine Award to Tanya @ Meaningless Meandering from a Madmother - this mad mother has the most generous heart - reaching out just when she knows you need her. Thanks for always being there.

I always struggle with handing out these award type things, as all of my readers mean the world to me and all of you deserve to be awarded in some way or another.
