MONDAY 24th, 2023, Love where you live 😍
Well, gotta love a long weekend – 1 day’s leave to gain 4 days off!!! And what perfect autumn weather we have been treated to.
This post is a combination of happy soul food moments across time with my bike, post ride brunch, followed by a yummy dinner to boot (Part II)… all feeding the soul in different ways to bring you that special, warm feeling of contentment.
Started off with a lovely sunny morning’s trek around the bottom end of the Bellarine, heading to my happy place, the Queenscliff back beach, where I spent wonderful times with my Dad wondering through the rock pools at low tide.
My grandparents would holiday down there in February each year, from their farm in the Western District and I think of them every time I’m down that way. Going down there near Anzac Day is now quite special since 2020 and that special Anzac Day, when we had Dawn Service in the driveway. Afterwards on that day, I headed down to Queenscliff on my bike, for an eerily quiet ride and it really did provide a connection to my family now passed and a poignancy of remembrance for my dear old Pop, who was a WWI veteran. Remembering Anzac Day 2020
Today’s trek, the sun was out and it was such a beautiful ride, it really was uplifting for your spirits and to be celebrated with a yummy reward at the end – eggs, bacon, avo , goat’s cheese on sour dough toast, with a drizzle of caramelised balsamic and of course – COFFEEEEEE
Happy Soul Food Moment!
