We could make a good thing bad

  

 

A little while ago, my mum and I went to Yarra Glen, a town full of wineries. We arrivered there early and didn't want to eat lunch straight away so we stopped off at our favourite chocolate factory for a hot chocolate and mum wanted some scones.

 

 

I enjoyed looking at the chocolate factory workers who made the chocolate onsite. I took a photo of raspberry lollies being covered in chocolate.


My mum had previously visited the winery we went to that day and had absolutely loved the gnocchi but we were disappointed by the food this time around. Isn't that annoying when you eat out and it's amazing but them when you revisit, it's not? Nevertheless the gnocchi made for a nice photo.


The vineyard views were beautiful as well!

 


 

 Overall it was a beautiful day out and I can't wait for the Easter holidays where I can spend more time with my loved ones and have some more days out. I'd love to visit the chocolate factory again.

That's it for me today, I hope you're having a lovely weekend.

Title: Look At Us Now (Honeycomb) by Daisy Jones & The Six.

Side note: Has anyone else started watching Daisy Jones & The Six? My sister and I have watched the first two episodes and we're loving it. I'm also mid-way through the book. I'm trying to finish the book before I continue with the episodes.

    Sounds like a wonderful day out, even if the food was a bit disappointing.
    You and your Mum were both dressed fabulously as usual!
    Oh, and can you send over some of that sunshine? The weather has been truly atrocious here lately! xxx

      Thank you lovely. Sending you sunshine. It was a bit sunny today but freezing in the morning, you don't mind that do you? Hehe. X

    What a lovely day! You and your mum looked so pretty and summery! I've never been to a winery, I think I'd probably overdo it and have to be carried out! xxx

After 11 weeks of term 2, preparing reports and completing parent-teacher interviews, I farewelled my grade 2 students, and began my two weeks of holidays. I was looking forward to spending time with my family and grandparents, as well as squeezing in some day trips. My mum and I returned to our favourite place, Daylesford. It was a cold, winter's day so we rugged up in big coats which kept us surprisingly toasty. I wore my tartan coat that I recently bought at a market. I had been looking for a big, long coat for some time as well as watching Gilmore Girls and admiring all of the beautiful coats worn on the show. So when I found this brand new coat, I was happy to hand over my $25. At Daylesford, we first roamed the Vintage Mills Market. It's always fun to have a look at the unique items. I found a vintage, leopard coat. It was a bit pricey, so I thought about it for some time and then decided to buy it as it was a dream item that I have been searching for, for probably over 1...

 Where do you buy your clothing from? Opshops? Online shops? Retail stores? For a while, I hadn't been buying much clothing as my wardrobe is absolutely full! From time to time, I sell pieces from my wardrobe on eBay to slowly thin out my collection. Although recently I fell into an eBay rabbit hole and have purchased quite a few nice dresses.  I bought this  Tree Of Life  dress on eBay after admiring the exact same one my mum has. I tried on her dress, so knew which size to buy. It popped up immediately when I looked it up online, and for less than $30 including postage, it was mine ! Leopard is always fabulous, I think. I enjoyed wearing it for a get-together with family friends at my uncle Arthur's house a little while ago. This cotton, brown and cream kaftan was also from Tree of Life. I wore it recently when going to see Simple Minds play at the Red Hot Summer Tour. And boy was it hot, at 35 °C     we were so sweaty, people were fainting around us...

Kiss me goodbye, defying gravity

 Some things that have been giving me joy lately... 1. This cute ladybird that landed on my hand. Thanks for the good luck, ladybird! 2. A delicious dinner my sister cooked. 3. Some flowers I bought for myself. They were on special for $8 and I couldn't resist. The colours were bright and made me smile. 4. These fresh cherries picked on one of my walks around the neighbourhood. I was thrilled to spot a cherry tree growing on a nature strip! 5. Speaking of cherries, my sister surprised my family and I with this delicious cherry pie! It's inspired me to make my own cherry pie one day! 6. Cherry red nails to match the ongoing cherry theme (of course)! 7. Last but not least, going to the movies to watch Wicked . My sister and I kindly received LUX movie tickets for Christmas from my Chico last year and we finally used them to watch the musical Wicked . I absolutely love the Wizard of Oz (as you may have noticed here and here ), but wasn't sure if I'd like the Wicked movie....
