afternoon tea at riverbend
Little A deserved a celebratory afternoon tea this week - she was awarded her Silver Medal in her school’s Steps for Success program. So we headed off to Riverbend Cafe and Bookshop with Nan for a treat.
There were chocolate velvet tarts, and zesty lemon tarts, and strawberry milkshakes and rich coffees all served with Riverbend’s beautiful afternoon sun. Truly, it is the nicest place to sit and enjoy in Brisbane.
But that was not all! Oh no! We had Nan with us and she spied a boutique across the way. So over we went and Little A and I sat in front of the change rooms - doesn’t matter how old I get, some things never change ;-) - by the shoe display …
We waited, and oohed and aahed, and waited, and oohed and aahed some more.
When all of a sudden, a tingle ran down our spines - we were being watched! By a bejewelled, young crocodile no less …
… definitely time to hot foot it home, where our recently arrived and delightfully snuggly young guinea pigs were waiting.
Good thing we didn’t take Snufkin here out with us! She’d have been eaten for sure!

Those crocodile shoes are little too close to the point of origin for me! ;-) I’d feel like my feet were staring at me all day.

Shoe shopping and afternoon tea in a lovely bookshop. An alternative perfect afternoon to one filled with sewing!

Congratulations to Little A! Your treats look delicious and those red shoes would be fit for Dorothy in Oz.
