Lunch today was a super delicious Thai pumpkin soup and a yummy lamington. Highly recommended. I also left with a cherry tree to plant in the garden. I love garden centre cafes.

Te Pae Convention Centre
Te Pae is on Oxford Terrace. It’s completed but due to the current Covid situation the public open day has been postponed. I’m looking forward to getting a look inside sometime. I’m not sure when the first convention or event will be held.

Red Admiral on my coffee mug
