Southside Tea Room… Brisbane’s Grate-ist?

Caught up with the girls on the weekend – headed to the Southside Tea Room at Morningside. Sat there for a good hour chatting over coffee and amazing shakes when the penny dropped. The Grates! I know familiar faces when I see them… eventually. No fan of reinventing the wheel, I found the following review of Southside Tea Room on Brisbane’s Weekend Edition – … Read More Southside Tea Room… Brisbane’s Grate-ist?

Literally Confection

Cliche it may be, fad most definitely, but still I love a cupcake! I resisted visiting my local cupcake parlour, which really is too cutesy for words, for some time. But, as with all my firm-stands against fads, I quickly succumbed. The store showcases a delicious selection of wares.

Brunching with the girls

I met the girls for Brunch this Sunday. It was a casual affair, with friends coming and going as you please. Now, I’m not, nor have I ever been, a morning person.

Feeling the warmth … Read More Brunching with the girls

Needless to say, I love the second sunday of the month. What’s not for me to love – where ever we congregate there’s always lashings of conversation, stories and laughs. The hours just slip-slip on by. And … Read More We don’t pay collectively

Coffee with Lil’sis

I met Lil’sis for a catch-up coffee. She’s all shiny-haired and stylishly attired. We perch on our cafe chairs like good little patrons and snippy-ly await our beverages. We always order the same, which is unusual for me, one skinny latte + one flat-white. I love our coffee breaks. Once our orders arrive, addiction slightly abated; we’re free to delve into the family gossip, … Read More Coffee with Lil’sis
