Macrocarpa is a species of eucalypt.
Here in Mount Barker it is also the
name of an organic shop and cafe.
Coffee is smooth and the space is easy.
We share roasted aubergine parmgiana with three salads;
sweet potato and sultanas in teriaki,
beetroot and orange, zucchini and apple with toasted almonds.
Mark is a superb chef in a simple and comfortable shop.
A kind of sanctuary, even if we do have to skulk
if we do not ride our bikes in =).
From there to the vegetable shop and butchers.
The dogs also were lucky today with bones.
We have River Gums and a footbridge across a creek,
We love the frogs and waterbirds, but it is quieter now
with the new development having
filled in a lot of the upstream waterway.
The building continues,
I hope the creek does.
We make a sun baked march across the park
to visit the family under the willow.
BBQ chicken and steak, onions and salad.
Ice cream and fresh passion fruit.
Home again. Kim is in the shed soldering.
I am finishing the day with scotch and a book.
This time tomorrow he will be gone for two weeks.
It will be different.
