Today we ventured out for a ladies lunch with my Mum and sister (sans children) to the wonderful Heide Museum for a beautiful lunch and a wander about the gallery and sculpture garden. The lunch in the cafe was sensational – I had a corn chowder with soft shell crab and a dessert that looked as beautiful as the artwork in the gardens.
After lunch we wandered through the exhibitions and gardens taking in some of the collections of John & Sunday Reed who supported & encouraged modern art – many artists who are now regarded as central figures in Australian modernism.
You can read more about the Museum here. I just ate the food. Enjoyed the company of my Mum and sister. Soaked in the autumn sunshine and delighted in the artworks and took some photos. It was a really good day.

Beth, that sounds so calm and beautiful. It’s been too long since I’ve done something with just my mum and brother, without the kids around. Sounds like something I need to make happen! Hope you’re enjoying your road trip! Fi xx
It was SUCH a beautiful spot Fi..and the time with my sis and Mum without any kids hanging off ANY of us was priceless! We even got to enjoy a bottle of wine!
