One of the most
important things I had to do this year was to visit The Grounds at Alexandria.
Now this may not be such a big thing but I felt like I was missing out and I
was only hearing amazing things. One of the things I kept hearing was, ‘Mon!
You have to go! You’ll love it!’ only made it worse. Thanks E.
I finally got the chance to go as I had planned a lunch date with a
good friend of mine. The funny thing is that we both had interviews in the
morning and from there we ventured to The Grounds - a good spontaneous thing! It
literally blew my breath away. It’s beautiful! The flowers, the greenery and
the food! I visited on a Tuesday and it was so busy. We got our table buzzer (I
have no idea what they’re called) and we were initially told there was a 45 minute
wait, which was fine. We walked around, we took a trillion photos at the
florist, walked and sat in the shade and stared at all the adorable puppies.
It’s an amazing place
and the day was eventful. I purchased some flowers for home - the middle
arrangement in my photo below and sadly it was near death on the way home but if
you haven’t been, it’s a must visit. The food is delicious, the lemonade just
as good and the venue itself is what draws you in because if you don’t want to
sit at the restaurant to eat, you can get something from the carts or the take
away eatery under the shade near the garden.
I
definitely will go back and hopefully the next time I will have my trusty
camera instead of my phone so I apologise for the quality of them. I tried my
best editing them.
