a great day at Southbank
We had beautiful winter weather this weekend – perfect for the regional food festival that was held at Southbank on Saturday and Sunday. I set off on Saturday morning with a friend to discover the delights on offer.
The stalls were very well set up beside the bougainvillia arbour.
set up early for a fun day
I think these planter boxes would be excellent for those with a small garden in the city.

The next thing that sparked our interest was City Chicks – maybe not what you are thinking.
