The Perching Parrot

Yesterday was an absolute ripper. Today’s giving the veggie gardens exactly what they need, a bit of sun, and a bit of rain 🥰🌱

Today’s gluten-free muffins are one of my favourite staples: Raspberry and Banana.

Pair one with some bucking delicious coffee and Sunday is sorted.

Our gluten-free muffins are feijoa and banana, made with feijoas tucked away in the freezer back in April for a sunny day like today.

We’ve also got our popular ginger crunch, with not too much icing. hot cheesy scones, and bucking delicious coffee.

It’s dinosaur weather, people. 🦖

I LOVE it when the mist is rolling down the hill. I just wait for a dinosaur to come running down the highway, across the tracks, for a coffee 😆

Come and wait for the dinosaur with me 🤠

Gluten-free muffins today are blueberry & Whittaker’s dark chocolate.

And of course, as always, my famous cheesy scones and bucking delicious coffee. ☕️

We’ve also got our delicious Squisita tarts and custard squares, plus Half-Baked Snickers slice, and a couple of other sweet treats.
