Sunday Brunch

I didn't have any photos from Saturday, but here is one from brunch this morning.

We have been going to Mitre 10's cafe on Sunday mornings and today thought we would try the Fig Tree for a change.

We had the great please of bumping into friends and their husky, Sasha, while we were there. The food was delicious and atmosphere was friendly and casual. It was a bit loud but that seems to be how cafes are these days. They think nothing of the racket they make with the coffee machines and dishes as they work. Fortunately the music was at a nice volume.

A group of elderly ladies were there, meeting for a muffin and tea. The tea is served on china plates and tea cups. So dainty. One of the ladies had brought gifts for her friends. it seems she had been on a trip overseas and had brought a gift for each of them and some daphne from her garden.

I hope one day I will have friends that meet for coffee like that group of ladies.

There is plenty to look at in the cafe. Lots of paintings for sale, and it used to be a church. Sean told me all about what it used to look like because he had worshiped there a couple of decades ago. It was really nice.

They have a book swap thing going on, where you can tag your book and follow where it ends up.. seemed too complicated to me. I may just drop a few off so they have more for people to borrow.

I'm looking forward to the next time we go, and perhaps the weather will be like today so we can sit outside and have Jack and Willow with us.
