Yesterday we went for a visit to our favourite pie shop for lunch. Blogged previously here. We were given a voucher to go here for Xmas from some in-laws.
As usual, I has a skim caramel latte. Yum.
Now that I am avoiding gluten, I had a freshly made Vegetable ‘quiche’ fresh from the oven – yes they were making a batch as we arrived and I waited for it. It was worth the wait. It was full of roasted vegetables, pumpkin, kumera, potato, carrot and held together with a mix of egg and milk (or cream?). I could make these at home.
After lunch, we went to the town of Leura in the Blue Mountains. This is a rather touristy town with a mall lined with boutiques. Very nice, but very expensive wares. There was a toy shop we visited right before Xmas that PJ wanted to re-visit as he wanted more time to have a look and has been bugging us to go ever since. (He did spend his $20 that he had saved up). I walked up and down the ‘mall’ with the older boys and left the other two with hubby in the toy shop. We went into a chocolaterie and I bought two of these caffe noir beauties and four chocolate fish for the brood.
We took a drive to Leura cascades to eat our chockies and have a look.
I started playing around with the hipstamatic app on my iPhone.
Changing ‘lenses and film’.
We went to Sublime Point for a look at the famous Three Sisters. They are on the ridge in the foreground as it descends into the valley. Those three rocky outcrops.
It is a long way down to the valley from the lookout. Yes, that’s my finger covering the lens in the top right of the frame. Amateur.
We had a nice day out together.
