I’m a woman who likes to lunch.

After a decade at home with the children where my lunchtime consisted of crustless vegemite sandwiches accompanied by in-depth conversation on bowel movements, farts and bananas in pyjamas I was a sucker for any invite to the nearest cafe, adult company and a glass of wine or two.

On my return to work I enjoyed many a meal with colleagues, and when I went part-time the highlight of my week became the Friday long-lunch catch-up with basically anyone who’ll have me.

When WordPress announced this week’s photo challenge was lunchtime it was a shock to discover I have embraced the modern-day phenomena of photographing my food.  I had quite a few shots stored on the good ole i-phone. The advent of the i-phone has turned us all into snap-happy food photographers. Are we all secretly harbouring a desire to be a food blogger? Or perhaps it’s Master Chef/My Kitchen Rules making us confident we are expert critics. Sitting in restaurants critiquing the pork belly and condemning the less-than-perfect chocolate tart.

My perfect lunches involve a water view, be it river or ocean, fresh food and eating companions with a sense of humour. What’s your perfect lunchtime?
