Local Press Kingston

This morning Bron suggested breakfast at Local Press on the Kingston Foreshore. She was going for a bike ride around there and we could meet at 8 for a bite to eat.

This morning was bright clear and fresh. Local Press opens on weekends at 8 am but there was activity inside and outside prior to 8. The menus are available on the tables and once you’ve made a choose you order and pay at the counter inside.

Bron was interested in one of the Local Press juice drinks and enjoyed an orange, carrot and turmeric root juice, which she said was very refreshing. The available other selections included a green drink with kale, celery, banana and spirulina the other was a coconut and passionfruit based concoction.

My beveridge needs focused purely on coffee. I like the way the cups and saucers are colour coordinated.

Yep, if I could lick my plate I would but using a knife and fork was all I had.

After breakfast I went for a walk around Lake Ginninderra. It was a spectacular morning on the lake.
