Mel lost another 0.2kg today. She was ecstatic when her Weight Watcher's leader showed her she has now lost 6 kgs since joining. It was lovely to see the joy in her face.
We took time out afterwards for a 30 minute walk and drove down near the river. I wasn't sure whereabouts we were headed and I just stopped the car at the end of a cul de sac thinking we would walk along the adjoining footpath. It was then I spied a path leading into the bush area and what better thing to do than to take our chances and follow it to wherever it could lead.
We were treated to gentle grazing horses in paddocks on both sides of the path. The path continued over a rustic wooden bridge and suddenly came out onto the road. For no apparent reason we followed the footpath to the left and decided to retrace our steps at the sign post in the distance.
The surprises kept on coming. Just pass the sign post was another sign on Stirling Crescent advertising a Nursery (the plant type). Curiosity hastened me to find out its name. It read, 'St Barbe Grove Nursery,' and we later found out it is the headquarters of Men Of The Trees in Western Australia. As we took the little turn off to the nursery sign a tall lanky man came striding down the driveway carrying a rather large sign. We were soon engrossed in conversation and he was putting out his sign advertising hot coffee. He explained it is a brand new venture and he hopes to entice new customers. He stood holding his sign while we chatted. I asked if he was open on Sunday morning, as we like to visit the Dome Café, but it is always crowded and never personal. I could see ourselves enjoying cake and coffee in his secluded nursery. He considered this and said he would entertain the thought. Already I was planning when we could visit next week and as we retraced our steps we discussed the best day to try out his new venture. Life is an adventure and one man's plans can result in pleasure for many. We like to support local business.
