The Gardener's Lodge Cafe, Victoria Park


This was one of those lovely sunny summer mornings that we have very gradually started to have. I stayed with Vice Toff the night before at Wesley College (don't tell the SMH) & my stay coincided with the residents end of year party which consisted of blasting the classics (ACDC, Cold Chisel, Eye of the tiger) accompanied by brutishly out of tune yelling. Sadly for the SMH, I have no inside scoops to report as I took a pill early on and bombed myself out & the celebrations seemed tame in the end.

Vice Toff and I were up early to make this lovely brand new cafe in Victoria Park after an idyllic stroll through the Syd Uni grounds. Arriving at 915 we chose an outdoor seat despite protestations from the porcelain skinned Bradley. We were soon joined by our partied out Salsta who had been doing some partying of her own. Finally, we were joined for the second time in 3 wks by my Kel doll who is welcome to join us any time.

We all enjoyed this newly restored heritage Victoria Gothic sandstone building cafe which had a touch of  bush tucker berries et al on the menu as well as run by Aboriginal lady. Our food was enjoyed.

We had many belly laughs this morning with a 'Snog marry avoid' recap followed by two damsels from Wesley College locked out of their rooms calling our Vice master to be their prince and unlock the key to their rooms but not their hearts. The damsels were summoned to the Gardener's Lodge to our brunch club. Some of us said SNOG some of us said AVOID but no-one said MARRY.

Quiz score: Completely forgotten but it wasn't 20.


 
SAL SAYS: 3.5 bush tucker eggs
VICE TOFF (Brad ) SAYS: 3.5 bush tucker eggs
ANDREW SAYS: SNOG....4 bush tucker eggs
KEL SAYS: SNOG too. 4 bush tuckers.
