Coffee Catch-Up # 32

inspiringmax

If we were having coffee I would tell you that I am not really sure where the last moth has gone. I worked up to Christmas Eve and then I was on leave. During this time I relaxed well reading and doing jigsaw puzzles. It wasn’t until returning to work this week that I returned to my routines including blogging.

If we were having coffee I would tell you about our family Christmas. At the previous Christmas the colour/theme is decided by popular vote. At times it can get interesting as all family members have equal voting rights. This year the theme was flamingo, anything pink or flamingo print. As this year we were on trend there were plenty of flamingo accessories to choose from. Christmas is always hosted by my sister and she and her family go to great efforts to make the day beautiful and memorable for all. I wish I had her level of creativity.

If we were having coffee I would tell you about my Sunday walk and coffee this morning. We walk around the local area randomly with no real direction and see what we can find. Today we hit the jackpot. We wandered across a brand new coffee shop that officially opens tomorrow. They opened today for foot traffic only but were happy to set tables and chairs up for us in the cafĂ©. We were excited to be one of their first customers. By the way the coffee was amazing and we’ll definitely be back.

If we were having coffee I would tell you that over the summer I have been working on improving my Charcuterie board presentations. My last one was my best yet and I am beginning to feel more confident. No wonder they are so popular once you understand the principles of how to make them work there is no limit to options.

If we were having coffee I would tell you that the recent rain has helped the garden grow. Just after the new year I was down looking around for some salad vegies when I discovered our cucumbers had grown. I couldn’t believe it they were huge and tasted amazing. So fresh and crisp. And the good news is that I just finish one cucumber and there is another one to take its place. There is nothing like fresh garden vegies.

If we were having coffee I would ask you what has been happening in your world?

Thankyou to Natalie The Explorer for hosting this weeks Weekend Coffee Share.

  1. At first I thought this must be from another year, we are just not used to see som many people gathered together nowadays. I am happy that you got to see your family. I can’t wait until it is safe for all of us to do so. The colour coordinations are very beautiful. Thank you for the coffee.

  2. Your photos look wonderful, from the holiday celebrations to the charcuterie board and fresh veggies. My guess is you’re in Australia where social gatherings are allowed. Thank you for joining #WeekendCoffeeShare.

    • Hi Natalie
      Yes from Newcastle New South Wales so as we are in regional NSW we can have up to 30 people at our homes. In Greater Sydney area it is currently only 5.

  4. Hi IM — Wow! I almost missed your post as it fell over to a second page on the main page. Wow! A flamingo themed Christmas. . . ? I never would have guessed that could happen, but it must have been a riot of funny. The photos are great! Good to see you back for the weekend meet up.
