Natalie & I arrived in Brisbane
This morning
Every shop having sales...School Holidays not large crowds really to be seen .....
Lincraft had a great sale in the wool section...
I must say they have the best display of wool ...
Every time I visit Brisbane that section is 1st on my Stops ....
We decided to have a early lunch....
So off to the original Shingle Inn...
Looking around for a seat a elderly lady had room at her table ....I ask if it was o.k. for us to sit with her...of Course Darling was her answer...Having such a
great conversation...
Her name was Ivy ...and next month she will be having her 93rd birthday...
Amazing shopping once a week at her age ...
In the middle of the city....She needed to go
to Woolworth's...So she ask if we could mind her parcels .....
I felt very privilege for Ivy to ask....As we all live
in a not so nice World...
From time to time.....She trusted us...
We Headed over to David Jones Sales once again...
They have a wonderful shoe display....
Walking up the Mall we decided we needed chocolate from
Yes Darrell Lea
Well the shop has been modernised ...The Assistant....Ask my thoughts ....On the New look.....
I said sorry to Modern for me...When I was a girl The ladies behind the counter's uniform being
colourful blouse and very large Bow .....
She said yes I have seen pictures
Boy how old am I ...(55)
The Police have a car decorated for the big Game tomorrow
Night
The sun shone all day
A few bargains Travelled
safely home we us ....
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......

Shingle Inn was always a favourite of mine, they made the best Lemon Meringue and I love how they tied the boxes with string! I used to love eating there before it was refurbished, think that was about the year 2000.
Feels like ages since I was last in Brissie, maybe one day I'll get back there to shop in Queen St Mall.
shopping is always fun in new places which it looks like you had a lot of fun.
What a wonderful post Jeni the photos are great. Brisbane looks so good, I'm wishing myself into the photos as I type.
It looks like such a great day. Next time I come can we have a Jeni, Nat, Yuka and Kylie day there and Poppy can baby sit!!!!
