Today the Wednesday Challenge on Weekly Prompts is:ย Neighbours. Please go and visit their fabulous site by clicking >> Here …
One of my nearby ‘Neighbours’ happens to be the “Moorabool Valley Chocolate Cafe”


Our table and my “treats” … Frankie getting his back patted.


Frankie waiting for his “treats” and waiting for me to finish this poem
Raspberry Cheesecake
The afternoon is warm and sunny
I say to Frankie
โWe should go for a strollโ
He immediately runs to his lead
And eagerly shakes his head
Ok, we will go to the
Moorabool Valley Chocolate Cafe**
Excitedly, he scratches at the front door
He knows where we are heading
A special country-style venue
Close to home
Near the outskirts of town
Situated inside a horse agistment property
We settle for a table on the verandah
Frankie loves the attention he receives
I love the homemade cakes
My self-indulgent treats
Were a scrumptious raspberry cheesecake
And a delicious cappuccino
