seeing the grandparents off.

 

 Farmer's market, pictured:

1. Slow roasted chicken with lime and chilli jam empanada.
2. Wooden battle axes. Be still my beating heart. I am in love.
3. Wooden swords. This guy also makes wooden shields. There are a huge variety of swords and axes. Some are cheap and plain, some are larger, some are smaller, some are more decorative.
4. Orange juice and the band who play every week. M and I both enjoy their music. Mum asked them to play Waltzing Matilda for Willow.

Farmer's market, not pictured:

- My unwavering love for the farmer's market. I would LOVE to live walking distance away from a fresh produce market. 

- Fermented sausages. Like, OMG, WTF. AMAZING. I've been trying to get my courage up for the past year to give these a shot. They're traditional fermented sausages (like a chorizo or salami), and you can store them for up to two years without refrigeration or synthetic chemicals of any sort. Just the perfect balance of good vs. bad bacteria. Mind blown. They're really great for picnics or whatever, because you don't need to worry about keeping them cool.... so it's like the convience of Spam lunch meat, but classier and tastier. I have one sitting in my pantry as we speak.

- WHERE HAS ALL THE KALE GONE? Not even Coles or Woolworthes seem to have any in stock. It's supposed to grow year round...

 

Frontline Hobbies, pictured:

1. Where you lock up bikes. Willow loved playing on and around it.
2. Big Lego man.
3. Inside the store. They have play tables out, with toys on them, which is amazing.
4. Toy horses. I have no idea how to spell this German brand, but they make the best plastic toy animals. They're just really, really good quality. Normally when we go, I'll get Willow a toy or two. Frontline Hobbies isn't the place to go if you want 100 plastic toy animals for $10. Everything there is really good quality. I wouldn't say it's over priced, but you do get what you pay for, and the prices are comparable to online prices.
5. They have a lego table, two train tables, a rocket ship, a play kitchen, doll house stuff plus more all out on display, ready to play with. The rocket ship is pretty rad, but so are the train tables.
6. My mother, looking at all the shelves, and Willow with a train derailment.

More Frontline Hobbies Photos:

1. Dioramas. These are behind glass, so they don't photograph too well. But the detail and professionalism of them? Amazing.

4. Willow found the play kitchen and never wanted to leave again.
5. This game looked really cool. Willow and I play memory at home, and she LOVES it.
6. Mum wanted some photos of her with Willow.
7. Willow didn't really want photos with her paw paw, she wanted to go play.

Train station photos:

1. Detail at the train station.
2. Willow.
3. My mother wanted a photo of the three of them. It was hard to get one where everyone had a nice expression on at the same time.
4. Intercity train to Sydney. The Intercity train has two levels, and the first and last carriages are quiet carriages. Quiet carriages are amazing. If you have no idea why this is amazing, you don't obviously don't catch public transport enough.
5. Selfies.
6. Willow wanted to know what the dangly thing in the bell was.
7. Willow can recognise "w" and was wondering why her name was on the train seats.
8. Clock tower.

Again, more of the "sorry I didn't upload these sooner."
