Coffee

December 20, 2019 Valerie Smith Leave a comment
The Australians pride themselves on their coffee – and I must say we’ve been impressed with both taste and presentation! The waitress at Toorak Tracktor Cafe told us it had taken her 2 years to perfect the latte art on top of the cappuccino!

Cloudehill gardens

December 20, 2019 Valerie Smith Leave a comment

Cloudehill Gardens (in the Dandenong Ranges, East of Melbourne) has a beautiful array of flowers, shrubs, borders, trees, glades and meadows… the designs derive from Italian renaissance, English arts and crafts and contemporary meadow gardens…We loved it!

  1. It’s been good to catch up with NZ friends this week… Barbara & John who we first met at Holy Trinity Tauranga a dozen years ago just as they were about to come to the UK for a year. Good to get to know them that year and to revisit them and HTT … Also got together with our Christchurch friends’ daughter Frances and her two girls for a swim and a fun afternoon. …and seeing a previous house swapper friend, Karen, on Saturday, who is going to show us her ‘almost finished’ 3 year house renovation!
