Bye bye Ponsonby

We shift to Herne Bay soon so taking the time to visit our favourite places before doing so, while it is still easy to do so.  Have just got home from attending Mass at the spacious Sacred Heart Church in Vermont Street.  Our Parish Priest Father Rory Morrissey always gives a good sermon though I don't always agree with his views.  

Got nabbed outside Nosh by people from the local Commmunity Board with a questionnaire as to what we would like to see in the new park to be designed in that spot.  If we were still living in Ponsonby I would have preferred the shop to stay there as there are fewer and fewer food shops, just cafes and restaurants. 

A lovely new Countdown did open last week at the Ponsonby Road end of Williamson Ave where we shopped on our way home from our gym session at the Y.  Got lovely fresh mandarins for $2 a kilo and tomatoes for the same price if I remember rightly.

Coffee'd this morning at old favourite Dizzengoff.  The poppyseed, sultana and orange muffins are superb and we enjoyed a whole one each with butter with our pipping hot latte in a glass. Got a table near the window where we could people and dog watch the world go by.  Just as well as the noise level of people chatting prohibits conversation on my part as I find it hard to make myself hear and be heard.

Our final port of call was Nosh for some meat and fresh vegetables for our evening meal, appetising dark red meaty mince with minimal fat, just perfect for a lasagne if I leave time to prepare it.  

We are in the throes of packing for our imminent shift to Herne Bay in a couple of weeks.
