Adavera

Treattrackers found Adavera this morning over at Paddington. It's a shoeshop and the proprietor is a relative of mine, Kristen. She's named it after her two grandmas and Ada was my lovely Auntie Ada. There's pictures of the two grandmas on the wall. We could also see some nice shoes so I'm off to visit the shop at a time when it's open - not a Sunday morning.

Gourmet Providores is next door to Adavera at Paddington. We had some great finds in there - Red Kellys Lemon Myrtle Dressing from Tasmania, a new bottle of olives from Bunnyconellen called Dorsetshire Table olives, some beautiful Quick's cheddar from England, and the most amazing butter from France called Isigny Ste Mere. Steve the owner is nice and we saw all our favourite stuff in there.

We're having our 29th wedding anniversary today so we went off to Sympatico over at Paddington. I had corncakes with bacon - yum! David had Turkish eggs. What a nice, young friendly staff and very helpful. They smiled a lot and they seemed to be having fun together. It was nice.

treattracker Mark's Mum Kerry made him a lovely rug to keep him warm for the winter.

Here he is sharing his warmth with the girls - Amy, Elizabeth, and Danielle watching the last Lions game for the season. Hooray, we had a win over Sydney.
