a Christmas lunch cancelled...

Just now cancelled Thursday Christmas lunch at The Heritage, Balnarring with a friend + her daughter. My friend + I agreed that the place is quite popular and therefore the Christmas season is not a good time to be there sadly.
Looks like 2022 promises to begin with hibernation.

Paid for my 3 friends' Christmas lunch yesterday. Meant to be a huge thank you for all their support through my troubles this past year. Just checked a Christmas bag one friend gave me. (She texted me just now to check the bag again.) I found that she had tucked $50 into it...

The Heritage is so inviting...

My favourite little dining place - The Heritage - at Balnarring is looking so inviting...
They've really vamped up the outdoor dining experience...
Won't try this weekend...but maybe...just maybe the following?https://t.co/zFpPIHHSrj pic.twitter.com/TIETJwNcN4

The Heritage light...

Interesting light reflected in a mirror at The Heritage, Balnarring...The Heritage is a 1930's cottage converted into a delightful, atmospheric restaurant on the Mornington Peninsula... pic.twitter.com/7rWJNt1TH7

The Heritage...

Today's eruption of U.S. tensions... reaching a global scale...seemed like a good reason to seek some personal breathing space in the sun...A friend + I had lunch at Balnarring village's 'The Heritage'...rambling old house/restaurant with a garden/play setting...+great food... pic.twitter.com/HslWvlmTI7
