On the way back from the Library last saturday i decided to drop into a coffee shop not far from where I live, that I have not visited before. It has been on Riding Road for a while but just didn't look that inviting from the road.
It was a delight. Friendly staff, great coffee and a little shady terrace out the back that will be lovely on a winter morning. I asked for one of the mini muffins to go with my coffee.
I went to the Farmers Market at the top of Queen Street on Wednesday. One of the flower ladies was selling bunches of Gum leaves with gum nuts. Only $5 for a bunch.
I first made this cake in 1968. I wanted something quick and easy to make on short notice for morning tea for visitors. My boys loved this simple cake.
This plate is 50 years old
I made it again this morning when one of my best long time friends came for morning tea. We were have such a great catch up that morning tea turned to lunch. She finally left about 4.30pm. Such a fun day.
I did one of my regular visits to the Museum of Brisbane. I do hope that it returns to it's usual space in the City Hall when the renovations are finished.
I love Margaret Olley's paintings and was very happy to see 2 that the Museum owns on display.

I am looking forward to the recreation and exhibition of her workroom at Tweed Heads in the future.
