ONCE MORE INTO THE DARKNESS!

With the end of daylight savings, we are back to racing the sun to get our walks along the beach done before walking home in pitch black. 
But what are the positives?
 Here are some amazing things you can do right now just because the sun is setting earlier! 

🌴Watch the penguins coming in earlier! 
🌴Stay out having an after work wine & come home in the dark feeling like a badass but its still only 6.30pm! 
🌴Those sunsets!!! The sun turning blood red over the horizon at 6pm. Cannot beat that. Beyond compare...
🌴 Get into the jacket and jumper section of your wardrobe. Haven't you missed them? 

Do you have more to add to the list?

It's still not quite the weather for big heavy casseroles and slow cooked 'comfort food' so why not head to THIS EARTH THIS FOOD ( TETF ) for all you need to make a stunning organic Beetroot and Rocket Salad? 

With late Autumn being peak season for beetroot, this is one you can keep in your back pocket, or experiment with a bit until you find YOUR own perfect rocket, beetroot, feta and walnut recipe. Perhaps swap out some rocket for a bit of Kale or baby spinach?  Feta for Goats cheese? And TETF also has many options for a healthy organic balsamic dressing. they got it all. 

 Find This Earth This Food on the ground floor of Acland Shopping Court, 158 Acland Street

Pre Luna Park, who knew we were already Coasting out here on the Coast? 

Felt utterly "Big Dipper-ed" to discover there was a completely different wooden structured roller coaster on the St Kilda foreshore apparently known as the "Figure 8" 
The Figure 8 was built prior to Luna Park on adjacent land circa 1910 and remained there until Luna Park took over. 

What an intricate and fascinating timber sctructure! Wooden coasters were very, very popular in the early 1900s and Roller Coaster technology was surprisingly advanced for the times as the very first roller coaster was built in Paris in 1817. 

....however it did take another 90 years until 1907 to invent the roller coaster lap bar though! Yikes! 

With thanks to Antique Post Cards and Danielle Nelson for sharing this story and  printed photo post card image.
