                            The most valuable possession
                                        you can own is an open heart.
                   The most powerful weapon you can be
                            is an instrument of peace.

Coffee time .

Hi there .Wonderful to see the sun today . Not really any warmth in it but lovely to see it anyway .

Welcome to my room . Just a little chat today ..no card .

Doug and I gophered/ walked for what seems miles this morning .

We went to our favourite bakery, some 20 minutes walk,  for morning coffee , after taking Twiggy for her usual park run .
After so many dull , damp and freezing mornings , it was fantastic to feel the glorious warmth of the sun .  Later we took Twigs back to the park . Just for another short run before making our way to another café .

On one of our many walks we found a little group of shops tucked away in a side street about 15 minutes walk from our unit  in opposite direction to the bakery .
I am sure that other countries have these little  hidden delights  in side streets too .
Well , we decided to have an early lunch here today . Doug and I had been in similar business in our younger days and know just how hard it is to make a go of it .
So , carrying on with our  morning walk , we made our way there .
Any one living in the Campbelltown and surrounding area of Adelaide , might like to visit .

The Forest Ave. Deli
10d Forest Ave. Rostrevor.
     0883366676
                                                  You can just see Doug and Twiggy at the table .
Inside is clean and bright with friendly staff.  There are tables inside and it is wheel chair friendly but Doug was happy to stay outside .
We had coffee and a hamburger each for lunch , all of which was hot and a treat for the taste buds .
The best hamburger with the lot that we have tasted for ages.

So here we are giving them a plug . We would love it if you find them and let them know you saw this post
I did ask permission to place photo on my post .
         Wishing them every success.

 

 

                                      Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne

Today is First Day .

Hi there , welcome to my room . Thank you for calling in.
Welcome to a new follower Bridie .
 Just a quick mid week post to share a card made for  craft friends and our Tuesday get together .

This fabulous pre coloured  image is  from an ART PAD from Lili of the Valley, Set 1, Vintage Boys
 The card base is SU, Early Espresso. The 1st layer is textured card stock from ALACRAFT  Loved this card stock  as it has a leather look to it . 2nd layer is striped paper from Country Gent 8"x8" paper pack , NIT WIT COLLECTIONS.  The sentiment is from an unmarked pack of clear stamps ..

OH nearly forgot .
Doug was sitting in his chair near our  lounge window , dozing on and off while I was in craft room , today . Suddenly , he yells out for me .It appears that a koala is walking down the driveway towards the main road . Oh boy what a mad dash for camera and front door . I caught up with "it" as it was stepping off footpath into peak hour traffic .
What a spectacle I made of myself ..arms waving about as I slowed the traffic to a crawl.
The koala manage to make the medium strip and scurried up a tree. A motorist pulled up and rang the fauna rescue number and I went back to reassure Doug that all was well .

Not a photographer but hope you can see the koala .

Hope your week is going well .

    Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.
