We love checking out vegan places around town, because not only is the food healthy and ethical, it also means I can usually eat without fear due to being severely lactose intolerant. So we have been keen to check out the very funky Smith & Daughters in Brunswick St, Fitzroy. The restaurant has a Latin […]
We discovered the colourful world of Shag last year, and absolutely love it….we now don’t need much of an excuse to pop into the city store, or the one in Brunswick St, Fitzroy! And last weekend, we finally got to check out the original Shag, located in Chapel St, Windsor, and like the other two […]
Some days make you so glad to be alive, and living in a wonderful city…yesterday was one of them! It started off cloudy and cool…my husband had to work, so I spent the morning catching up on housework, walking the furkids and drafting a few posts. He then called me to say he had finished […]
