Hot-cross buns!
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot-cross buns!
If you have no daughters,
Give them to your sons;
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot-cross buns!
It's Good Friday, and so we made hot cross buns. No photos of them, but let me assure you they were very nice. Buns with sultanas, and buns with chocolate, and the secret is ... putting them under the bathroom heatlamps to rise! I wasn't organised enough to have them ready for breakfast - we're really not morning people - but they were delicious for lunch. And after that, we headed out to the National Gallery of Australia for the afternoon with friends.
A slight detour into Reconciliation Place:
... then back up through the High Court forecourt and across the footbridge to the old Gallery entrance. A wander through Pop Art, Modern Art, Surrealism, and some colonial art, then out to the Sculpture Garden and down to the lakeside to contemplate:
A short stop at the outside cafe near the new entrance:
... an opportunity to hide among giant pears:
... and back to the car via the National Portrait Gallery - featuring the orange blob near the front doors:
More than enough art for one day for the kids, so while the adults had a quick look round the National Photographic Portrait Prize exhibition, the under-10s hung out on the beanbags in the adjacent area until it was time to go.
