A breakfast to die for



Mondays are usually my other half's day off each week and either we try to get out in the boat, go on a road trip or have brunch at one of our favourite cafes - The Rusty Tractor.




My favourite is usually the Eggs Benedict with bacon and a large Mocha - I like the pattern they used on top. According to their lunch menu here's what you can get:

Fish and chips - with salad, tartare sauce, lemon, malt vinegar.
Cajun and Oregano poached chicken salad with apricots, raisings, nuts and seeds, lemon olive oil vinaigrette.
Eggs Benedict - free range bacon and poached eggs on sourdough with creamed spinach, seeded mustard hollandaise, cayenne pepper.
Battered tiger prawn cutlets - with sumac and clove spice, citrus dressing, crisp apple and fennel salad.
All day breakfast - bacon and eggs your way with grilled tomato, sausage and fried onion, hash browns, sourdough toast and hollandaise.
Salt and pepper calamari - with olives, tomato and red pepper salad, feta cheese, roasted almonds, crispy shallots.
Braised lamb shank with potato gnocchi - spanish pepperata, charred cauliflower, queen olives, and lenon soured cream.
Double beef and bacon burger - with carrot slaw, red onion, gherkin, lettuce, tomato, egg and fries.
Seafood chowder - with potato, fresh herbs, cobb loaf and kilpatrick oyster.

And that's just their lunch menu! Now you can see why we go there.

Bicycle yarn bombing





June 1st was the first day of Winter for us - now we are into chilly nights and nippy mornings. We are up in the top of the north island so we don't get snow, it's pretty mild here. Yesterday I decided to bite the bullet and go further than I normally do with my walks - I ended up doing about 5kms in a loop from start to finish so I felt pretty good about my achievement.

Anyway the crochet coloured bicycle is something I spotted at one of our local cafes last time we were there a week ago. Here in NZ people cover trees usually with crochet creations called "Yarn Bombing" and when we lived in Tauranga we saw it alot there so I was pleasantly surprised by this - a bike is definitely different.
