:: Peppermint Bay and Miss Haidee and Pip Stafford too…

October 18, 2010

This is where we had lunch in Tasmania on Friday.  My Mum and Brother took us to their favourite place to eat, south of Hobart at Peppermint Bay.  It is a lovely spot looking out to gorgeous Bruny Island over the D’Entrecasteaux Channel.  (We used to take the boat to Bruny Island from Tinderbox when I was a little girl and have picnics on the beach.)  We had a really lovely, relaxed meal and some champagne in a beautiful airy, cosy room with a lovely view.  It was really ace!  I can see why they like it!

Weirdly, today I found out that Miss Haidee and her family OWN Peppermint Bay.  That is totally crazy because I unknowingly emailed Miss Haidee last week trying to buy a dress like the ones Rin bought us at Finders Keepers (Miss Haidee was there too! But I did not meet her!)  Miss Haidee read my blog today and let me know that it is a small world and that she is THE Peppermint Bay gal.  Gosh it is a teeny world.  We spoke via email last week… and we could have easily spoken in person, because I visited her family’s restaurant!  Wow!  Coincidence, no?!  How does that happen? I like it that we are all moving in the same circles, even when we jump States… and even without meaning to!

(If you read the comments on this post you will see that three of us have our eye on the same picnic set in the same Margate shop!)

(Also I was staring at a gal at the Farmer’s Market in Hobart on Sunday… and that gal turned out to be artful blogger Pip Stafford.  But I did not know that then.. I just thought ‘She looks a bit cute and bloggy!)  Golly. Small world.  We worked it out on Twitter today…!  Sheesh!  We could have had a lovely chat, had we known!)
