Our Family Table on Tour - Days 7 & 8.

by Julie Goodwin on 23 April 2010

 Day 7 - Tuesday 20th April

After a few radio interviews we headed into Myer in Perth city to sign some books and meet yet more lovely people. I even met some folks from the Central Coast!
The most asked questions include, am I busy (answer is yes, but happily so!), how are my family coping (very well, they are awesome, but I do look forward to seeing them on the weekend) and has my life changed. (Yep! In the most wonderful ways.)

From Perth we went to Dymocks at Garden City, Booragoon. I am so grateful to all the people who queue up to chat and have their books signed. The kids especially are amazing - so patient. I love meeting everyone, it's such a privilege and a pleasure. 
 
Tuesday night we went for dinner with some people who won a competition to have dinner with me - Penny and Alex, Sarah and Steve. Happy birthday Penny! The meal was catered and we had a lovely night. Thanks Penny and Alex for welcoming us into your home, it was a great night.

Day 8 - Monday 19th April
 

After a lovely day at home we jumped on a plane to Perth. It's a glorious day here and a beautiful city - I haven't been in about 18 years and it's good to be back. 

Dinner was at Capricci's in Rockingham, my Masterchef buddy Trevor's restaurant. We were treated to an amazing number of dishes off the menu, with matching wines. My favourite was the Reef and Beef, which has been voted the best in Australia. This is the only Reef and Beef I have ever eaten which had a mussel and a scallop on top of the rib eye fillet, as well as huge tender prawns in a garlic sauce. Delicious! Thanks Trev and Marianna for a great night.
