On Sunday I met my daughter Nicky for lunch at Viv's Kitchen at Sanson. It was a rather cool rainy day, but no wind luckily for the drive up there, a 100km round trip. Viv's Kitchen is very popular and has a 50's vibe. The young waitresses are dressed in full skirts, and the cafe looks just like a version of Happy Days. Where's the Foz? We ordered lunch, and I couldn't go past a Southland Cheese Roll, delicious. Viv's Kitchen is famous for their Cream Horns, not that I ordered one. No, I was after one of the giant chocolate eclairs and took one home for supper.
No photos of the two of us, but there were several interesting ones on the walls that needed investigating. How about this one? Guess there has been some out of control little darlings visiting the cafe, who haven't been taught how to behave.
And this one had an interesting story. That's a placemat from Viv's Kitchen taken to Gracelands, and look, the pink cadillac belonging to Elvis!
I love Elvis
We had a nice lunch together, and the place was really filling up with customers, so it was getting rather noisy all around us. Maybe it's time to try another Sanson cafe next time, there is another local one based in a church building nearby which looks interesting.
Out in the carpark when we were ready to leave we had a bit of a swap going on. I had a couple of items for the granddaughters, and Nicky gave me a large pumpkin. Mmm, I can see some pumpkin soup simmering away before too long.
And I received a pleasant surprise when a lady customer walked past me in the car park and remarked "I do like your dress". Goodness me, how often does that happen? What a nice compliment.

Vic’s kitchen sounds like a fun and delicious place to eat! My husband’s sister and her family have been to Graceland but we have not.
Sounds like you had a great outing;))) I have to laugh at your choc eclair for your dinner--my Mom always said "Eat dessert first, life is short!!" And she often did just that;)))

What a lovely day you had. That restaurant sounds like my kind of place.
God bless.
What a lovely way to spend the day. It is deferring to be soup time. I’ve got a pumpkin waiting to be made into soup as well. Chocolate eclair for supper sounds very decadent. Enjoy.
Love Me Tender is my favorite Elvis song, ever! my oldest daughter's first teddy bear had a windup music key that played it - i kept that bear when she moved out (till she asked what happened to it and i had to confess and give it back)...
Lovely place to met up with your daughter Nicky.
Hmmm! Nice to enjoy an eclair…
What a beautiful day... wonderful.
And what a lovely compliment.
It's worth dressing up... :-)))

What a nice spot!
What a lovely outing and the thought of a chocolate eclair made my mouth water. Pumpkin soup and yes, how a kind compliment can make our day.
