autumn leaves of red and gold...

Today V and I headed down to Berry, on the south coast, for a nice, relaxing day of eating and browsing the cute little shops...



The scenery down this way is all so gorgeous - so green and pastoral

 Supre woolen cardigan
 Country road wooly tights and cable knit scarf
 Rivers boots
 Sportsgirl bag
 Oroton sunglasses



We kicked off with brunch at one of our favourite cafes of all time - the Berry Sourdough Bakery & Cafe (be warned! of a weekend you are well advised to book a table or face a looong wait)



We arrived at 11:30am, only to find that breakfast had JUST finished - bummer!



Whilst the lunch menu is amazing, neither of us felt like lunch - we wanted brunch!



Cappuccinos whilst browsing the menu...



We eventually both decided on the bread-and-butter pudding, topped with thickened cream and cinnamon poached pears. This was an amazingly yummy breakfast (ahem dessert) - light and delicious, yet very satisfying!



Meet au lait - the world's most ginourmous coffee!



Yes, it really was this big!



Nom nom nom - I could have taken a dip in it! My kind of coffee
Nails are OPI Mrs O'Leary's BBQ



There were maple leaves everywhere today, a million different shades of red and gold - I ended up bringing a bunch of them home, there were so beautiful



Stopped and patted the horses...



Much to our surprise, we soon realised there was a Celtic festival on in Berry this weekend - awesome! I know its not very trendy, but I love those sorts of things!



We ate some yummy fresh-baked, still-warm Irish soda bread, slathered with local butter (and bought a loaf to bring home!)



We found a Scottie dog! So cute!



She was a bit camera-shy...



And of course there were Scottish marching bands (gotta love a man in a skirt)



As we were driving out of Berry, we passed a row of gorgeous maple trees, all afire with autumn leaves - and I had to get out and play!











Happy Saturday!

  2. I LOVE the photos of you jumping and dancing in the leaves. The coffee looks so, so, so good. Now I want coffee... but it's too late in the day to drink it, so I shall have tea instead.

    One of my best friends from uni is from Berry and I stayed there at her parents' place for a week back in early 2002. It was nice.
