a minor place




picnikfile_Ak59PB








Walking from my gaff to the little cafe just down the road (for coffee and french toast w/ rhubarb & pistachio mascarpone om nom nom nom!) and then back again. All "ugly" 1970's brick houses besides victorian terraces besides big old wooden things. Thats why I like it here. Oh, and for all the fruit trees in yards waiting around for me to come and (sneakily) harvest!

Melbournians, did you know you can find (and help others find) nearby fruit trees by using this map? Or this one?

Everyone else- I bet a similar thing exists for your city too (and if not you should start one)!

    What a pretty walk. I had to remind myself while looking at these photos that you're in Melbourne--the weather is moving toward Fall where I live, so seeing your Springtime photos is a lovely change.

    Lovely photos! I haven't been to a Minor Place in a long time - so yum. I didn't know about that fruit tree map - genius idea! I like the sound of a pomegranate tree near my house...!

    Hello darling!

    I love your photos. That does look super yummy! And those lemon trees are lovely! I hope the harvesting goes well, dear. ;) And, I love the photo of the daisies with the fence out of focus in the corner.

    XOXO-

    beautiful! And I love the maps - I've never seen this before, what an awesome idea - I'd love to know if there was one for Sydney! Will have to scout out now.
