We pop into the Lindt Chocolate Cafe on Collins Street for...,,Lattes and a lovely milk shake plus macaroons....yummy! We're going to have a macaroon make time at home very soon which we're both looking forward to. Watch this space for my update! Here's a view of Lindt...

For me, Melbourne essential shopping includes visits to departmental stores, Myer and David Jones, for books, fashion, and everything pretty. We didn't find the book - My Darling Lemon Thyme - by Emma Galloway, just published by HarperCollins New Zealand - ISBN 978-1-77554-021-2 which charts Emma's creative ability with natural, wholesome and flavoursome food. Its a great book which I shall find somewhere.
We visited Laura Ashley, on Collins Street, for their wonderful clothes and home lines. I've always loved their colours and patterns and adore wearing their clothes.
For lunch, we visited the Bluetrain restaurant on Yarra River bankside, over the bridge from Flinders Street railway terminus, where we had two great bowls of food. I had a Risotto of chicken and kale chips with green peas and my daughter-in-law enjoyed her tasty, slow-cooked beef with tomatoes and carrots.

a nicely spiced "stew" which our garden-fresh kale complimented beautifully.
Today's been a good day for a return visit to Melbourne - bright, sunny and nicely warm - a lovely mid-spring day, I can't wait to go there again this week. I love holiday's, don't you?
