Hoisting a Classic

© Kara Rosenlund

Growing up my childhood best friend and I would spent many a hot Queensland afternoon running through her backyard sprinklers in our togs, sucking on funny face ice blocks and having cartwheel competitions on the lawn; good old fashion fun.

One of our favourite things to do was to run towards her Hills Hoist clothes line and then jump onto one of its arms and go for a quick spin. I have never forgotten the beauty of the Hills Hoist, so when one became available recently I jumped at the opportunity to have one of my very own! Over the weekend we pulled out the plastic and cemented in the classic!

Thanks Dad xx

Ciao Bella

Happy Sunday!

Hope your Sunday is full of yummy delights as mine has been so far.

Timothy O and I popped into our favourite Italian patisserie Dolci Sapori at Clayfield for an expresso this morning. We decided to treat ourselves with a traditional summer Sicilian breakfast - 'gelato e brioche' as it was so hot. Amongst other things we also ordered a cheeky take home 1 litre tub of their 'pistacchio' gelato. You know what they say, you can tell the quality of gelateria by the quality of their pistachio.

Dolci Sapoi was born out of the need for an authentic Italian pasticceria; a place for a typical Italian breakfast - an on the run expresso with a freshly baked pastry and the results from last nights soccer game.

They make all their delicious sweet treats on site each day as well as their gelato. The line is often out the door, though don't be put off, it moves very fast!

Ciao Ciao
