I wasn't sure if it's just alright to juxtapose a few stems of lavender together with these delicate cheeses. 🤔 But I drew them nonetheless as I find lavenders fragrant and lovely. 😊

🧀 Le fromage ("cheese")—one of French cuisine's Sainte-Trinité or "Holy Trinity"; the other two being le pain ("bread") 🥖 and le vin ("wine") 🍷 *Santé!* 🥂 No, we're not going to l'Hexagone 🇫🇷—where their land abounds with soft buttery croissants 🥐 and other culinary treats 🤤—anytime soon. We're still here in Perth 🇦🇺 and we recently had our very own cheese festival! *Wohoo!* 😄
Yes, Festival Fromage 2016 was successfully held over the weekend (11–13 November) here in our dear city. Being a cheese lover myself, I was too excited about it that when they called for volunteers some months ago before the event, I didn't hesitate to sign up as a general hand volunteer or an all–rounder as they call it. I only committed for one full day of volunteering during the Festival though, as I still have other school activities to accomplish. Together with other volunteers and organisers, I was also tasked to set up the table, serve cheese and wine to participants, and clean up during two dégustation sessions.
📸 Here are some shots that I was able to take—except the fifth one—during the Festival at Perth Town Hall:

Who could resist that much cheese on your platter? 🤤

Say cheese! 🧀 😁
That's all for the meantime. À plus... 🧀 🍷 😊
