A Maze ing

Went to Gordon Ramsays restaurant, The Maze, tonite and had a great time.  We tried grass fed beef steaks with a peppercorn sauce that was easily the best we've tasted with an aniseed flavour coming through.  The ambience was excellent and we had a really good night.

I was really pleased to notice the bird cages and the wrought iron bird theme on the wall in the restaurant.  It reminds me of the organic linen range of blue wren designs we have for lemon pie in stationery and kitchen napiery that will be coming in soon.  I really like little birds.

I'll be sorry to leave Melbourne.  It has been a real pleasure.  Today we visited David Jones and I noticed that on every floor staff were extremely helpful, friendly and willing to assist.  In fact at every entrance staff were stationed for the sole purpose of helping assist customers.  Their attention to detail is formidable.  I believe I purchased more than I had intended because of their friendliness.

Same here at the Crown Metropol.  Attention to detail is stunning and if I take anything back from this trip it will be to try to recreate that sense of welcome and ambience that they have managed to do here.

Tomorrow we head home back to Mitchell, Western Qld where the locals are friendly most of the time.
