Fitzroy revisted, and a croissant

I went into town on Monday to have another trawl around the back lanes of Fitzroy, to look at more graffiti.  I got the train into town, and then the No. 11 tram from Collins Street, below, to Brunswick Street.

 The image of the young man in the artwork below was to commemorate the life of Donny Govan, who went missing in September 2012.  It is a very poignant piece.  I wonder what happened to him.
 My favourite combination!  Graffiti on corrugated.
And then on to find Lune.  A croissanterie of legendary proportions in Melbourne.  https://www.goodfood.com.au/eat-out/just-open/lune-croissanterie-opens-in-melbourne-cbd-20180920-h15n2y  They have a website of course, which is super cool, very much like the place itself!
I reckoned the best way to find out if the legendary reputation was justified was to find out for myself. Tough research, but someone has to do it, even if there is a queue out into the street.  It was more than well worth the wait!
I will probably never buy another almond croissant ever again.  From the concrete altar of only ten choices, I chose the almond and never looked back.  YUM.
 
I won't forget Lune in a hurry.  It was just a brilliant place.  To create something so successful out a product list of ten items is proof of talent indeed!

    Brilliant stuff. Almond croissants (which the Aussie's can't pronounce properly) - are my absolute favourite.
    Double yum in one item of food. Bliss and blessed in one mouth full.

    Happy days indeed.

In a vase on Monday - colour

The intense colours in my vase this week come from nasturtiums, sweetpeas and a single glorious zinnia! Their beauty and love of life speak for themselves and need no further words from me! Enjoy!

Early morning light

There have been some cracking early morning skies this week.  The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds.  Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.

Coastal walk from Gullane to North Berwick

By the time I have walked about four miles, my toes are screaming at me - it's the arthritis, you see.  One of the joys of being that little bit older than I was.  However, for a long time, I have been keen to walk along the beaches, and follow the coastal path, between Gullane and North Berwick. So, having worked out the tide times, I decided today was the day, and off we went. Below is our starting point, the bay at Gullane.  It's a lovely beach, very popular with dog walkers. This is looking east, the direction Tilly and I were going to take. Looking back, up the Forth, the unmistakable bulk of Arthur's Seat, and Edinburgh's skyline, just clear enough to see. For most of the walk, there is the choice between wandering along a series of beaches, or following a path along the top of each. There's no denying it, at heart I am a shell-seeker.  I have loads of shells at home.  We lived on one of the out islands in the Bahamas for a just over a year, ...
