Rambling into Spring

1/9/2013

There's definitely been a sharp corner turned that takes us right into Spring. The breeze is warm, the skies are blue and we've been blessed with sunshine. Steve and I had a great lunch at Huxtable on Saturday and then we wandered from Collingwood through Fitzroy all the way home stopping off for liquid refreshment along the way. We even managed a couple of drinks with Rachel and Tim as our paths crossed in Fitzroy.

We passed by some beautiful blossoms on the trees late afternoon time as we meandered towards the CBD from Fitzroy.

Sunday dawned bright and sunny too and we decided to visit the Trailer Park which is where various food trucks gather on a weekend and different trucks on different weekends. There's also bars on site and lots of open air seating. Such a great place on a sunny afternoon and I can see us returning.

Today we ate from Beatbox Kitchen (burger and fries), Cornucopia (sweetcorn and mini tacos) and Gumbo Kitchen (pulled pork sandwich) and we ended on a sweet note with creme brulee from the Brulee Cart.

We were there pretty early so there was plenty of seating available. We did have to wait a while at Beatbox Kitchen for our order but it's pleasant enough to wait in the sunshine.

This weekend was Amelia's first birthday and she had a huge party at her house with lots of family and friends. Apparently she loved it all and refused to go to bed and played avoidance games with mummy so she could stay up! My cousin Samuel made the impressive cake and my cousin Zoe made the Hello Kitty cake topper. Such talented people.
