Mum, Thomas and I braved the screams of a car-phobic 3 month old to drive about 90 minutes to a small historic town called Beechworth in Northern Victoria. My brother Ben was meeting a couple of clients so we took the opportunity to catch up with him for lunch and browse the historic shops.

I have been to Beechworth a few times and have to say that it is much more complicated with two small children in tow. I think Thomas and Samuel decided to play a little joke on me by coordinating diaper changes at the most inconvenient times.

Nevertheless, it was a nice opportunity to catch up with Ben and Thomas had a good time checking out the water fountain… until he discovered that it made him wet. Then we had a few tears.

Oh, and I picked up some delicious boiled lollies at the fabulous, famous lolly shop in the center of town. I LOVE boiled lollies. In fact I could go so far as to say you haven’t lived until you’ve tried a Eucalyptus drop. Seriously.

They don’t allow photos in the shop which is a real shame, but I did manage to take this picture through the window. Bags and bags of boiled lollies. I don’t know how I managed to leave without spending a lot more money.
