I had to fly down to spend a day in Melbourne for work. Apart from the unexpected chill factor, it was a very groovy city that I popped into.
You can’t get hot chocolates like this in Sydney!
Tired and hungry at a funky cafe.
Cool sign in the cafe.
My breakfast. Heavy on the eggs.
Olah’s half-a-pig brekkie. Holy crap!
I was picked up at 3am on Thursday morning for our trip to Thredbo. It’s been seven years since my last trip to the snow. I decided to snowboard again – several runs and awesome stacks later, I was back linking turns and belly flopping in the ice all over again.
On my feet finally!
Oh-oh!
Splat!
Two days later, I was back, with plenty of bruises to show for my little adventure. Can’t wait for next season!
Alec took me to the Hunter to celebrate my birthday.
We stayed at The Carriages guest house … beautiful, quiet and cosy.
The Smelly Cheese shop. Yuuuuummmmmm.
Chocolate …

At Hunter Valley Central Gardens.
It was such a lovely weekend. Full of great food, tasty wine and the best company. Awesome birthday week! Thanks Alec 🙂
