I took my sister to The Angel Cafe for brunch. The service was very good. The food was delicious. Very fresh. They were busy but still had time to serve with a smile.

The driving instructor turned up on time & it was a great first lesson. I learned so much & can't wait for my next one. I love traffic lights. I had never thought about them before.

Approximate cost: $48

Dentists are nerve wracking. I find the experience less horrific here. Everyone is lovely & friendly. My dentist explains all my options every time. He makes his suggestion clear but the ultimate decision is mine. I always follow his recommendation, which is often NOT the most expensive one.

I went to buy sausages for our break up BBQ.The service was great, the butcher's were very helpful. I was able to buy gluten free sausages, which was important. The sausages were actually award winning & I tasted why. Just delicious.

I was looking for a baby gift. They mostly had furniture but the choice they did have was lovely. The sales woman was very helpful. I paid more than I had expected but the gift was so beautiful.

I had Michael Van Den Berg come to paint inside my house for an insurance claim. I was so impressed with his work I had him paint the entire inside. I have him booked to paint outside next. He is professional, reasonable rates & flexible.

I needed to have my house washed prior to repainting. A team of 6 men turned up. Very professional. They carted their own water in a tanker. They scrubbed, hosed off & wiped dry. It made me rethink the paint job.

Approximate cost: $380 total

Everyone needs rainwater tanks. I bought my second tank from Clark Tanks. They are a local company that supply interstate as well. Just know that the date for delivery will be into the future because they are working full out. BUT, when the tank arrived, the guy set it up beautifully with no fuss. The cost of the tank included delivery & set up & was a very good deal. I'd buy from them again if I wanted a third tank.

Mack Campbells are the bookstore to shop for any book you may want. They have limited edition & first editions, children's, second hand & new. If they don't have a book in stock they are brilliant & will hunt around to get a copy in for you. Their prices are very competitive. Make sure you leave plenty of time to look around because this bookstore is amazing.

Mi Mi Honey have the most delicious honey. The people you buy from are the actual bee-keepers. You can buy as little or as much as you need. I fill up every container in the house when I go. The honey is very cheap compared to the shops & is even cheaper if you take your own containers.
