magic in collingwood

The recent trip to Melbourne was full of little fascinating moments. Saturday was a sunny winter day, ideal to visit again the Mornington Peninsula, so we started by energizing our systems with a combo of caffeine, juice and a couple of baked items on Oxford street. As usual at Proud Mary we first ordered their magic of the day.

We got to seat by the front window, which faces one of those amazing industrial buildings, former home of Foy & Gibson Pty. Ltd., now renovated as a residential space. Simple brick with generous windows make it look like the ideal urban place to live in.

It was time for the second decision of the day: which juice, freshly squeezed, to complete our morning stimulation process. I chose a Molina made out of lemon, beetroot, carrot, orange and ginger (right glass), while San appropriately opted for a Miss Molly, which contains apple, watermelon, fresh mint, strawberry and cucumber (left glass).

One strawberry and chocolate muffin for her and a cheesecake brownie for me became our only solid companion for the rest of the morning. We were then ready to navigate the M1, which was going to take us to our destination in Main Ridge: 10MXT.
