YARRA VALLEY CHOCOLATERIE AND ICE CREAMERY

What a lovely day we had today, the last day of 2013.  We went to the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie and Ice  Creamery in Yarra Glen.  After having a look through the glass into the area where they make the chocolates, we wandered around admiring all the various packs of chocolates which could be purchased.



Viewing into the area where the chocolates are made
So much to choose from




 It was hard to pull ourselves away from the counter where they sell individual hand made chocolates



Finally, we decided to have an ice cream which we really enjoyed.  Lachlan had a rich chocolate one, Corey had strawberry, Jackie enjoyed honeycomb and I had my favourite, rum and raisin.

 

Yarra Glen is a lovely little town and the surrounds of the Chocolaterie is really nice. Well worth a visit.

INCY-WINCY SPIDER

Hello, this is my first Blog.......until a few months ago, I'd never even heard the term so this is all very new to me. It's still very summery here in Victoria, Australia where I live even though the calender tells us it's now autumn. Last night, this is what we had on the wall of our house, a large huntsman spider - thank goodness it decided not to make it's way indoors or the family would have left in a real hurry. The Commonwealth Games finishes on the weekend but it's been a great time for Melbourne with lots going on in and around the city. As a Scot by birth, it was great to see the Scottish team in their kilts and even better to see them winning so many medals.

HMAS CERBERUS (Royal Australian Navy)

Today, we went to visit our daughter where she works at HMAS Cerberus, the Royal Australian Navy's premier training establishment near Hastings. I took a few photos, none of which would be regarded as a security risk, but I was aware that I just shouldn't be snapping photos all over the place. This is one of the two churches on the base. The Wardroom is where the officers are served their meals. It's very ornate with two chandeliers and has two large murals, one at each end of the room. Across from one of the churches, there was a park with a small lake/pond but because of the drought we're experiencing right now, there was no water in it.

OH, MY ACHING BACK

Image
This week we bought a new TV cabinet, however it came as a flat pack. It's taken us hours to put it together but finally it's in place and looking pretty good.  It's supposed to have two drawers but we needed an extra shelf with a little more height so have utilised the drawer space to accommodate the home theatre amp. I'm pretty pleased with the result but boy, my back is really suffering.  NO MORE FLAT PACK FURNITURE, unless it's something as simple as a book shelf.
