The Grounds of Alexandria

Image
I may have just travelled on a couple of planes to New York, but it's time to travel back to January 2022. This was when I travelled in a car with Mum to The Grounds of Alexandria. The theme for the laneways on this trip was Beauty and the Beast . The Grounds always do an immaculate job with their installations. I always appreciate their attention to detail. On this particular visit I was celebrating my birthday. After eating some delicious food, we ordered their specialty cake. Our waiter even put sparklers in the cake for my birthday. I also returned to The Grounds of Alexandria for a visit in August 2022. This time I wanted to see the Alice in Wonderland decorations. Mum and I found our way around. It was quite a colourful adventure. The food was delicious and this dessert was exquisite. After dinner we headed back into the Laneway to view it at night. This is probably the most accurate photo of our adventure. I wish I could recommend visiting these installations at The Grounds...

2022 Festive Season

Image
Now it's time to travel back to last year's festive season. I spent time with a few friends, like the Christmas Ballerina,  a friendly elf, Rudolph,  Frosty, Gingerbread Man, Sparkles the Bauble, Ellie the Elf,  and Cookie. I also spent time with friends from LKM Performing Arts. Our annual Christmas party was at Throw Axe in Penrith. My lack of natural coordination paired with an axe was not a good match. I was very excited when my axe finally hit the board. Ash and Amethyst battled it out to discover the winner. (I can't remember who won.) My Christmas morning and the Bravos’ Christmas eve evening was spent on a video call. Addy loved her cash register. Then Mum and I went out for lunch. I don't need to tell you where we went because I can't be bothered to look up the name, and honestly it wasn't that great. We still made the most of it, and enjoyed ourselves. I of course insisted on a little photo shoot… for the blog. Back at home I made us dinner and dessert...
