HOT: Bounce Back, 266 Johnston St, Abbotsford
Oh dear. My first Bounce Back class and I’ve discovered that left to my own devices I have uneven hips, super-tight neck muscles, one dropped shoulder, a non-firing pelvic floor and a jutting chin like a Neanderthal (I blame too many years of computer work for that one). I’m a core muscle mess, even after [...]
HOT: Salvos Store, 81 Victoria Crescent, Abbotsford
I know, I know, I’m becoming obsessed with charity stores and cheap glassware. But how could I resist when I cycled past what appeared to be the Salvos Store flagship?

HOT: Rebound Sports Physio, 266 Johnston St, Abbotsford
I’m pretty embarrassed. Today I had to shuffle to Rebound Sports Physio, not because of a sports injury, but because I sneezed too hard and put my lower back out. Damn those core muscles!

The three rooms house rotating temporary exhibits, and its latest show is simply called ‘Exhibit 12‘ so there doesn’t appear to be any unifying theme. The postcard looked so [...]
HOT: Collingwood Children’s Farm Farmers’ Market, St Heliers St, Abbotsford
Every second Saturday of the month, the delightful Old McDonald playground, otherwise known as the Collingwood Children’s Farm, hosts a farmers’ market. If you have kids, the $2 market entry fee is good value as it also permits entry to the farm, compared to the usual $8 adult and $4 kids entrance fee. If you [...]
HOT: Slow Food Farmers’ Market, Abbotsford Convent, 1 St Heliers St, Abbotsford
In the grounds of what was once a home for pregnant ‘wayward girls’, the foundation of Abbotsford Convent now holds a slow food farmers’ market on the fourth Saturday of every month.The market was humming by 10am and after a thorough investigation of the stalls, my grocery budget bought:- a shoulder of Bultarra Saltbush lamb, [...]
