Out and about in the great wild west...markets, babycinos, bookshops, and locusts.

So, we're talking the very inner West Melbourne here but we love it all the same, as this is our hood. And I just have to say what a delightful morning the 'hips' and I have had in our little hood, plus what an action packed weekend it will be out west (and rather wet once more too so it seems)

We met a friend at a new kid friendly cafe in Yarraville for a fun play date in the fabulous playroom. Won't say too much as I know that there is a hip review from Little Eats coming up soon....but they do great babycinos, and lovely yummy little ginger bread biscuits on the side, so the 'hips' were happy.

We then popped into one of our favourite kiddies bookshops, The Younger Sun, with the intentions of purchasing Julia Donaldson's new book, Zog. Julia, should you not know, is the amazing author of left hip's all time favourite book, The Gruffalo. Left hip took a distinct liking to another one of her book's Tabby McTat instead, so Zog will be a perfect purchase for Christmas instead.

Got home and there was a locust on our doorstep welcoming us home...the plague has landed!

This weekend, its all happening out West, as the wonderful Yarraville Markets are on in the Masonic Hall, 10 - 3, Sat & Sun 13th & 14th November. Alongside that, the brilliant Fairy Floss Markets are making their debut to Williamstown. 9 - 2 Sunday 14th November, Williamstown PS.

Even though there's lots to do for them, I might leave my 'hips' at home for these....I've got some serious shopping to do!

So, did I mention that 'West is Best'?
