Long Weekend

Last weekend we (in NSW) had a public holiday on the Monday. On Saturday afternoon, we (R & I) drove to Canberra as he has finally conceded that driving a bus is not the best use of his abilities and he is returning to his previous public service job whilst waiting for a transfer to Sydney.





On Sunday morning we had breakfast and then headed to the Old-Bus-Depot-Markets in Kingston. We had a lovely time browsing the stalls and bought some delicious cheese and bread, some fruit, handmade cards and vintage buttons:






Then we set off for Hall and lunch at the_Poacher's_Pantry. I had heard a lot about this place when I worked in Canberra but had never managed to get there so it was a real treat. Sadly, I forgot my camera so don't have any photos to remind me of the lovely lunch we enjoyed


On Monday we went to the Canberra Centre - a little retail therapy and a movie. Then a walk around the lake (to work off some of the indulgences of the day before) managing to get back before the rainstorm rolled in.


On the knitting front, I finished some Cranford fingerless mittens for a work colleague who had admired the pair I made for my daughter

and cast on Springtime_Bandit.

I'm using Knitabulous Fifty - Fifty and love how it's knitting up.
