Canberra

Last weekend Ian was the diversion to get a long time friend out of the house while preparations for a surprise 50th were put in place. The party was in Canberra so we accompanied him for the weekend and took the chance to ride around Lake Burley Griffin - one of our favourite rides.
We left our run a little late for a choice of accommodation, it was the last week of the Impressionist exhibition at the National Gallery and even three weeks out accommdation was in very short supply. We did however manage to score a classy room at the Formule1 motel.
Sunday morning we took ourselves off the the Poacher's Pantry for what I reckon may well have been the best brunch ever. I had spinach and fetta fritatta with bacon and chili jam, Judy had smoked salmon and asparagus and Ian baked eggs with washed rind cheese and prosciutto - all meals had beautiful sour dough bread.

Here we are - post brunch - looking very pleased with ourselves despite looking into an eye-squintingly bright sun.
