Lunch in the cappuccino strip in Bunbury. There is a variety of restaurants, some of which are housed in lovely old buildings. Trees which are lit up at night with fairly lights, line the street. It really is a lovely place to go for coffee or lunch. There is a variety of restaurants - you can go from a simple sandwich to Chinese to pizza to fish and chips to a top class Italian restaurant. Take away, dine in, tables along the footpath, and the cakes are devine! and the people watching - the place to be seen. The cappuccino strip certainly has a lovely feel about it. It is a great place to go and meet up with friends, or just go for a stroll!
And a beautiful quote from Buddha on the display from the high school -
"The perfume of flowers travel only as far as the wind
but the fragrance of goodness travels throughout all worlds
The garlands woven from a heap of flowers
fashion your life as a garland of beautiful deeds"
This was a fund raising event for the Stirling Street Arts Centre, going towards renovations and additions to their facility.
It was a wonderful evening. Performing were the South West Opera Company (with songs from Carmen), South West Philharmonic Orchestra, Bunbury Musical Comedy Group (with songs from Fiddler on the Roof), Bunbury Catholic College Girls Choir (with songs from the Beetles and the 60s), Bunbury City Band and South West Jazz Enzemble, and a crowd favourite, the Soly Sombra Spanish Dancers.
In the mosaic below in second from bottom left, and on the far right of the top right photo, you can see my daughter in law in the bluish gypsy dress. Don't they all look so beautiful dressed in their gypsy costumes? I joined the dance group earlier this year, and my teacher says next year I will be dancing..... I don't now about that.......

ReplyDeleteWell, I'm coming over from Mosaic Monday as you're the one before me and I'm last so far, sugar, but it's nice to meet you. I also love photography but am just an amateur.

Wonderful people watching, beautiful flowers and flamenco! Wow! I bet dancing keeps you in shape! :D :D Fun mosaics.
ReplyDeleteWomen who try new things like dancing are delightful souls. My subflooring still bears the marks of my sister's tap shoes as she took tap dancing lessons for a year in 2007. What a hoot! Your daughter-in-law is lovely...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy tulip season, spring is on its way!
Lovely mosaics all...
You have such a lovely blog and your photos are just marvelous. I liked your post about tulips very much. This year I have to plant more tulips. They survive here, but unfortunately they become fewer and fewer over the years. Sorry to hear about your mother's death.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful image! The food looks delectable! ^_^
