Winter Festival '10

It was the last day of Sydney Winter Festival at St Mary's today. It's moving to Bondi for a few weeks then it's off, down to Melbourne. It's great fun- skating, mulled wine, festival food from funny little stands. It's one of a couple of ice-skating rinks in Sydney over winter; another good one is at Carriage Works.

I cycled into the city to meet some family and go skating with my little cousin. It's the furthest I've cycled so far, generally I head in the opposite direction to the city, but it was stress free and fun. Once the Union st cycleway is finished it'll be a breeze, a super safe and fast corridor from the innerwest into the CBD (good work, Clover Moore :) ). We skated at dusk in the open air at the beautiful St Mary's Cathedral, it was crowded, but lovely.

I locked up on the street outside, and while we were skating an ice-cream van turned up and parked next to my bike. My mum had my camera and the foresight to take a pic for me, thanks! I love the colours... such a pretty ice-cream van...

Unfortunately it had moved down the street by the time we were finished, but that didn't stop me posing for some pictures with my bike.
