This was the day we caught up with Terico and her husband Len. We enjoyed hearing about their recent wedding both the official one in Japan and then how they celebrated in Australia. Intercultural marriages haves stories that are always good to hear. Len has been living in Japan for ten years and can speak Japanese reasonably well so Terico's family warmed to him. That's always a good start.
Before letting them leave for their next (whirlwind) appointment, to see Midsummer Night's Dream in the Gardens, we stood in front of the mosaic at Flinders Street Station. Infact, that was the place we had arranged to meet... under the clocks.
Earlier in the day Peter had taken Asher and Jaye out on a good coffee hunt. The place they stopped at was in Kinkora Road, Richmond. Nice coffee.
They then stopped at CERES in Brunswick for lunch at the cafe there. Without knowing it they had missed the once a week market by a few hours. So now we know that it is every Wednesday for a few hours in the morning. An organic food market. There is also a place there to bring your old bikes and they will be given another life. A bike heaven.
They did lunch there and it was wonderful sitting outside under the trees. You cannot know that this place is very much in the middle of Melbourne. The casual nature of the place gives the impression that you are at a holiday destination. A faraway island.
This picture was taken at a very expensive place. Most things in the shop were glass creations, a lot of them costing in the four figures. They were lovely to gaze at but that was as far as it goes. You get to feel happy and sad at the same time.
