Train fun and good pub


Yes still re watching Grace and Frankie.....and still in the city 

Took a tram ride on Monday and got a snap of this building....called the city of melbourne building....have to zoom in to see these words between the balcony levels. Googled this information
Building Description:

This building was constructed in 1888 for the short-lived City of Melbourne Building Society which collapsed in the 1890's. The design eclectically combines classical elements such as columns, pilasters, aedicules and Baroque-style pediments with a picturesque roofline of steeply pitched slate roofs, wrought iron decoration and massive chimneys

Anyway on to Coburg we went to check out a market 

Just a simple fruit/veg/meat one but neat enough and one of Melbourne's oldest markets 

We later found this neat pub 


Oh yes of course I liked. Pretended we were back in Scotland lol 

Even has an old carousel horse 

Plenty of seating in main bar area 


And delishes burgers.....mine was Portabello mushroom, his basic beef and washed down with a nice cider 

This is the actual dining room we found later 

And huge beer garden out back 

Good in winter with this heater burning 

Plenty of room for sure 

Back gate we found and right near the tram at front 

And railway short walk 

Beautiful day waiting for the train 

Looking the other way 


Here comes the train Toot Toot

Baptism love

Yes us on a tram again while in the city.....this time we headed to Coburg North 

I was hoping to find my Nanna's house....she died when I was 12 so roughly 50years since I had been here.....

This is number 11 but brother Rob said hers was the last one in the street next to factory....that is now about 5 townhouses....I have her postcards so will see what number she actually was.....

Anyway still in the city relaxing 

Woody is very much enjoying it here 

I have now undecorated the xmas theme 

We went to see this movie at IMAX in 3d was very good 

Took another tram journey to the end of the line at South Melbourne beach 

Hooking on again 

And watched some youtube steam trains too 

Now on Sunday we went to this family Baptism....My sister Julies youngest boy Murray and his wife V and baby Kayla with Donna (in red) being Godmother 

Carl taking pics which would be much better than mine lol 

Proud grandparents and parents 

I had quite a few of my nieces/nephews and their families to take random sneaky snaps of...Meagan, Peter and their 3 William, Alexander and Emily all with long hair 

Luke (close) twins Grace/Georgia, Genevieve, Jonathan, Reshele, Adam and little Piper on his knee.

We had a great time in this huge local hall and the kids all sure had fun 

Even Cooper was there lol 

Just took a few more sneaky snaps 



Cooper loved sitting with Jade....she fed him lots of fruit 

Eric who is Jades brother and Julie and Carls grandson 

And yes April having fun with the balloons 

A better pic of Adam (who belongs to my bro Robbie) and his Piper 
Good fun family time so glad we were able to be there

Back to trying to use of more leftovers and low carb sort of lol
