Racecourse Road Festival and Cloudland


I love the spectacular interior of Cloudland... 










It's also got spectacular Fornasetti wallpaper in the bathrooms.  I've got a roll of this at home waiting for a special spot.

It was the Racecourse Road festival last weekend....I started the weekend with a fabulous walk down the street, along the river and past the Breakfast Creek Hotel ...








There were lots of people at the festival ....



and some fabulous sights


There were some strange stands ... I liked the Hello Kitty number and this cute little caravan




I was very tempted to have some fairy floss - I love the persian one you get from the deli
but I stopped for a chai tea at Lidos instead
and checked out the festival menu at Baguette but decided to go home and action some work..


I supervised a Dolls House Project for a friend's nephew ... as you can see I did all of the "supervision" in my fabulous thongs... whilst Mr S did all of the work!!





That night I made Maggie Beer's potatoes.  Here's the recipe - it is AMAZING


Here's my uncooked rendition


and a lamb roast 

what a perfect way to end the weekend ...!  More updates soon I am a few weeks behind!!

The RSPCA Millions Paws Walk (http://qld.millionpawswalk.com.au/) raises money for the RSPCA.  Mum and Dad's Vet Surgery Herriot House has a special contingency.





There were so many people and a representative from every breed of dog you can imagine.

Tarryn (http://www.tammythetamworth.com.au/About-The-Breeder.html) and (http://www.tammythetamworth.com.au/?page=122) has dogs that perform tricks and have clever grooming.  See Della's Golden Retriever clipped as a "lion".
