some colour is needed.

shop window flowers












































this is an intriguing shop window,
my favourite,
it hasn't changed since i can remember,
there is a story no doubt.

vegetables
















vegetables were sold here,
the shop is in the middle of a residential block,
it is enclosed by a high fence.
it is one of those it has been there forever places
that captivates my imagination.

tea and remembrances






















































































arranging to meet for tea takes weeks to arrive at a
suitable date for all.
tea becomes an occasion.
from the back of cupboards out come the inherited
rarely used tea things,
china, linen and silver from different women, traditions
and decades, all on the table.
tea, empire biscuits, remembrances, friends and laughter...

vacation trailer







































































on display at the arts festival was this rather tired
airstream trailer. children especially liked it, a perfect
playhouse. the keep calm poster is suffering from
severe over exposure.

but very tasty. a good way to enjoy those beautiful
blue plums. the recipe is from ina garten's
barefoot in paris book. excellent.

festival, faces, feet and fire




















































































i attended a very busy arts festival, art, music,
entertainers, vendors, activities for all.
however this is what caught my attention: faces,
dancing feet and a fire (a quick response by the
fire department and thankfully no injuries).

nice sign, fun restaurant

local produce








































































the blue plums; bartlett pears; coronation grapes
(seedless and bursting with flavour); beets and the
ingredients for another pizza came from no further
than 95 km. there is so much beautiful produce all locally
grown. In the winter it becomes more of a challenge to
find locally grown food.
