This morning Max and I met my sister and brother-in-law for breakfast to celebrate my BIL's birthday. As we live 93km(58miles) away from each other I found this lovely nursery/cafe that was nearly in the middle. It is called Warran Glen Garden Centre and Cafe and is Warrandyte, Victoria. So any of you Melbourne girls looking for somewhere to meet your friends then this is the place.
The entry was so pretty with lots of rusty metal.See on the wall to the left pretty cut out panels that had lights behind them.
The urns at the front looked fabulous
If you click on the photo to enlarge it you can see that the cafe is at the back of the main building
Just look at this gorgeous urn
It was a cold frosty morning and there was frost on the top of the urn
See the cut out sections on the roof & side panels. So pretty and the sun shining through them onto the wall below looked wonderfulThere was also a great gift section
There were some amazing huge water bowls/pots there
Loved the outdoor Living Section at the back
Wish I had a yard big enough to have this water featureSUNSET at Mt Martha Beach
The winds were really strong so it was perfect conditions for the Wind SurfersSee the ship on the right of the setting sun
There's that ship again - now it's on the left of the sun
There's that ship again - now it's on the left of the sunI don't know how these guys manage to control the boards.
A tough workout, they were going so fast.

Oh I really miss being able to combine a nursery and cafe visit, especially looking at this gorgeous nursery! Nothing like that for hundreds of kilometres from me I am afraid! How lovely that you could meet up with your sister and brother-in-law:) Gorgeous beach pics too Alison!! Hope you have a wonderful week ~ Tina x
Looks like a great place, love the urn!
Oh and that sunset is spectacular!
Hi Alison, What a lovely place for a rendezvous. The photo of frost on the beautiful urn made me swoon, it's so hot here. I spent time with my sister over the weekend, as well.
Is there any sunset as beautiful as one over the ocean? This land-locked lady thinks not. Wonderful photography, as usual.
Best Wishes,
Kay
Love the photo of the frost on the urn!
