“We’re on a road to nowhere…” ~ Talking He

“We’re on a road to nowhere…”
~ Talking Heads.
.▬▬▬.
“No way is there a café down this road - it goes nowhere!” I tell my friend as we drive into a beautiful new Springfield housing estate.
.▬▬▬.
We found the craziest place anyone could think to put a café - right in the middle of a luxurious new housing development.
But, just to make it tricky, it’s currently at the cut-off point of a no-through-road!
.▬▬▬.
Yet, when we climb a few steps what we find is a surprise !
• The Café is bustling with customers that have driven for km to dine here!!
• Rolling green grass lies at the front.
• Unobscured mountain views open up before us.
• There’s a little bit of magic too, with a toadstool 🍄 garden area (we’ll feature this later!
• Dogs sit and lie next to tables with owners feeding them designer-style Puppy Chino’s & special Woof Treats too.
.▬▬▬.
The staff are all super friendly and our meals were amazing. Definitely a place we’ll head back to with Oscar the Exploradog soon.
.▬▬▬.
So next time you feel like life’s road is taking you nowhere, keep driving ‘til you reach this great destination!

I ❤️ cooking up a healthy & freshly-made meal

I ❤️ cooking up a healthy & freshly-made meal in a flash!
• This week I was about to venture off exploring. It was an early start the next day, so I grabbed a bag of HelloFresh from my fridge to take with me to cook at my friends home (she joined me on the trip).
• In around 20 minutes or so we sat down to restaurant-quality dining, but created by us - and we had so much fun at the same time!
• If you’re life is hectic, then HelloFresh might just be the perfect meal-time answer for you.
• I love the way I learn new cooking tips, and that each week I individually select meals from their recipe range that we as all enjoy.
• Most of all, I can’t believe the value for money, plus, there’s no excess groceries going to waste - so that saves me $$ too.
• There’s just so many reasons that I love ordering my HelloFresh every week.
••• If you’d like to try it for yourself, then please use the special Discount Code MUM40 for your 40% off their first box 📦 (delivered to your door so no wasting time at the shops either).
• ↔️ Swipe ↔️ for our step-by-step photos from start to finish plus some fun while we created our HelloFresh dinner together as friends.
• What’s stopping you?
Give HelloFresh a try.
You’ll be glad you did.

Wind in my hair & I don’t care…
.▬▬▬.
Travel isn’t always about the perfect photo. Travel is about making the perfect memory.
Sometimes we concentrate too much on the perfect photo, meanwhile we miss that perfect moment.
Next time you travel take time to have some fun. Do something a little wild and crazy. Enjoy the laughs when things don’t go to plan.
.▬▬▬.
We are loving our time in Ipswich - it’s the perfect getaway. It’s full of surprises!
.▬▬▬.
↔️ Swipe ↔️ to see what we were aiming for - I don’t care because to me it was a great moment I’ll remember for all the laughs as the wind caught my hair….

“If food is the body of good living, wine is its soul”.
~ Clifton Fadiman.
.▬▬▬.
Cheers!
The extravagant selection of Italian wines is impressive here at Dovetails Restaurant in Ipswich.
.▬▬▬.
A luxurious bar is at the centre of this exceptional restaurant that we had the privilege to experience.
.▬▬▬.
The service and quality of food is second to none, & if you’re looking for a new holiday destination that will surprise you, I’d definitely recommend Ipswich.

SHINING THE SPOTLIGHT ON THEIR NEW BEER “Beer,

SHINING THE SPOTLIGHT ON THEIR NEW BEER
“Beer, if drunk in moderation, softens the temper, cheers the spirit and promotes health.”
~ Thomas Jefferson.
.▬▬▬.
One of favourite discoveries recently was when we walked down some steps into an older brick courtyard of what was once the Technical College.
As we turned the corner we found a social metropolis!
.▬▬▬.
Three buildings surround the sheltered courtyard, each being a unique establishment.
And as we entered into one building we came upon a bustling brewery.
.▬▬▬.
As you can see, I’m having a bit of fun exploring the complex!
And I’m loving thus new Queen of Hearts Beer 🍺 too!
