A Weekend in the City

I was fortunate enough to be able to escape to Melbourne for a few days at the beginning of this month. It's not exactly the most hospitable city in winter, what with the bitter cold and temperamental weather. But it's still my favourite city of them all in Australia. I went to the football, saw a delightful exhibition and was treated to some rather mild weather (and even some sunshine!). I even snuck in some shopping, because let's face it, you can't go to Melbourne and not return home with something new. Plus it was my sister's birthday so it was bound to be the loveliest of weekends anyway.
