Week 5

A cafe closer to our house… after a month of walking up our street and turning left, we now turn right for the next few months at the end of the street.

Week 4

A sunny spot on the corner at Rozelle, Corner Bar was nice but, sorry Nick (Robyn taught the barrista) week 2’s The Old Rosebud is still the best coffee east of Victoria Rd so far.

Week 3

A rainy week, we wandered up to this bakery to put their coffee to the test.

Nice coffee, but week 2’s The Old Rosebud remains our favourite so far.

Week 2

This coffee shop, perhaps an old pub?, was in the middle of changing its name.

Week 1

C’est Bon is the first cafe in Rozelle.
A nice day to sit outside.

We got chatting to a local who was able to steer Robyn to a possible local book club and both of us to a local community centre.

First coffee of this exercise, so, so far, best coffee in Balmain.

Balmoral in Scotland is definitely on a list somewhere.

In the meantime, this will have to do – Balmoral Cl at Mount Sheridan, in the southern suburbs of Cairns in FNQ

Gibraltar

We’d love to go to Gibraltar, the British city at the southern tip of Spain facing Africa.

I want to see the Rock of Gibraltar, but until then, Gibraltar Rd in Bowral will have to do.

It’ll cost a fortune to get the dog there…
