An Anzac Beechworth

I spent Anzac Day in Beechworth this year.

It's a quaint, old little town ...

Full of charming little shops ... Some Frenchy ...

And 'purveyors of fine foods', selling delish local produce ...

My foodie friend and I ate at Wardens again. Let's show you our delicious three-hour Sunday lunch, shall we?

To start ...

Appetisers ... It's like art on a plate ...

... And VERY tasty art, I might add! Here are the mains, including the gnocchi above.

And now, dessert! (The best part!)

YUMMM!!

Then, to walk it off, we went to Nine Mile Music, where I bought a French CD ...

... then into Larder, the fromagerie next door.

Where foodie friend bought this cheese.

They were all out of my favourite pistachio turkish delight :(
Oh well, next time ...

And so ends the day with a cute doggie patiently waiting for his owner outside the painting shop!

Random Inspiring Quote

"If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue.
Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge.
Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time.
It's very important to be aware of them every time they come up".

~ Deepak Chopra

Incredible India

This peacock artwork is by prasadesign for his "Incredible India" advertising campaign.
I was absolutely struck by it's beautiful detail (and I love peacocks, they are so colourful!)

And check out the Tiger! Stunning. I would love both of these posters on my wall!

In Disguise: Raccoon Costume

This print is adorable and cheeky!

It reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer sends a raccoon into Lisa's ballet studio to fetch packets of cigarettes and it grabs a wad of cash instead.
Homer disguises the raccoon with a black mask just like this one! Hehe!
