LIKE MINDS

We don't mean to but sometimes us Mum's take over small spaces. Believe me when I say that we feel equally as uncomfortable as you when our babies start to fuss or when we disrupt the flow of movement because of our strollers or travel seats, but sometimes we just need to get out of the house and enjoy the freedom and deliciousness of a freshly brewed coffee or a nice breakfast which doesn't involve us having to do the washing up afterwards. Small things like this which make everyone's day a little bit better also makes ours a little bit better too. I couldn't be any more apologetic for taking over your peace and quiet, but please understand that we are doing our best. Cafe's like this one attract members from all over the local community, not just because of the amazing food and coffee but because of the wonderful way in which everyone feels at home as soon as they step up into their cosy little space. The way in which the personalities and the people come together to enjoy their space, food and coffee often results in a chain reaction of laughter and communal small talk, the perfect ambience of casualness and joy.

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

When I was a kid I can remember often being asked, "Where are you from?". I was a bit of a slow learner you see, and it took me until my mid-twenties to realise that when people asked me this, they weren't asking about where I lived, they were asking me about my heritage. I can remember being asked by my best friends mum if I was Sri Lanken and I cringe thinking about my eight year old response at the time, "What does that mean?". I often get claimed by all sorts of people; Indians, Maori's, Sri Lanken's, Greek's, South American's and Indigenous Australian's. Whenever this happens, I often think about how I could have been an awesome spy morphing into different people with different stories to tell, maybe in another lifetime. When this board came up at my local coffee spot my hubby very excitedly put my pin on for me, I wonder how many other people will also be pinning Papua New Guinea?
