Dreaming of Vintage Treasures

A day in the life of a school teacher on holidays...  1. Sleep in I was sick during part of my holidays and I don't think I slept in more than twice but on this particular day I did. Yay! 2. Plant seeds I've planted leek, basil and tomato seeds as well as the ones pictured below. I've been watering them, which is something I've neglected to do in the past, but not this time! I can't wait for the sunflowers and vegetables to grow! 3. Pick some broad beans from the garden. I like picking them when they're small as they're sweeter. 4. Make a simple breakfast and admire my mum's roses. Greek yoghurt, salted peanuts, strawberries and maple syrup - delicious! 5. Picnic On this particular day, I intended to stay home all day, but my mum wanted to visit Footscray Park to see the purple wisteria that blossoms there each year. So we packed some food and off we went! When we arrived, we were shocked to see the wisterias blocked off by fencing with the surrounding ...

A day by the beach, what could be better? One sunny day on my work holidays, my mum and I visited Geelong beach. First we popped into the Vintage Mills Market. Looks at these vintage treasures... Next we strolled by the beach.  Passing the  carousal , we couldn't resist having some childlike fun. The Carousel's website says: " The Armitage-Herschell portable steam driven, hand-carved wooden carousel was constructed circa 1892 and is one of only 200 in operation around the world.   Featuring 36 Dare horses and 2 chariots, it was purchased by the Steampacket Place Development Board in 1996 and painstakingly restored." The view from the carosaul centre is beautiful. For lunch, we ate at a lovely restaurant by the beach called Fisherman's Pier. We love returning to enjoy the seafood linguini - delicious!  The four beach ladies waved us goodbye as we made our way back to our car. Goodbye beach, it was nice seeing you!
