Warran Glen Nursery and Cafe - 23 March
It was another great Sunday lunch outing to the nursery and café on the outskirts of Warrandyte.
Twenty one members remembered to check their diaries and arrive on time for lunch. A couple of senior members of the Club did arrive late after a reminder phone call. So glad you made it !!
Fish and chips and various salads were very popular meals – only problem was the constant wasp invaders, some even tried drowning in Graeme’s beer, but they managed to climb onto the lemon slice in the Corona and flew away to attack someone else.
As usual, the café was crowded and the house full sign was out on our arrival. The grounds were very pretty with autumn colours sneaking in and of course the shop and nursery were ‘as busy as bees’ – or wasps.
Thank you Meryl for organising this great outing once again.

February 23 - Sunday lunch was at “Majella”, Nunawading.
What a fabulous day. The day considerably cooler than the day before when the temperature reached close to 40’c. After reaching the back garden for the bbq, a light breeze was blowing, the smells wafting through were amazing especially after the onions were added to the mix. Suddenly, black clouds appeared and it rained making many run for cover. By the time they had reseated themselves, the sun was out and it got warmer again. Some even did not bother to move and enjoyed the slight dampening of their ‘attire’.
Everyone had a wonderful few hours enjoying the bbq snags of two varieties and very large rissoles and delicious salads. Some enjoyed a glass or three of their wine choice and some enjoyed the punch provided which was very cool and refreshing. After lots of talk and solving the world’s problems, fruit salad and pavs were the order of the day. No seconds were available – what a shame !!!
A huge thank you to the Cross family for allowing us to invade their home.
All 31 of us thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Hope you did too, Gerry and Kate.
