25.01.2022 Hi friends, Franklin won’t be venturing out today. As a mama that was a stay at home mama to three boys (all school age) until a few weeks ago, I’m trying to find the balance between running my business, my husband running his, three boys currently all at home due to restrictions and about to move houses. I feel today is the day to be with my babies, I hope you understand. If the sun is shining tomorrow we will see you then!

25.01.2022 Ever wondered why Franklin’s coffee is so delicious? We use a local roaster called Swig coffee. It’s everything coffee should be, smooth with lots of flavour. How lucky are we to have the bronze medalist in coffee for 2019 at the Sydney Royal Fine Food Show right on our doorstep. #supportlocal... #swigcoffee #smallbusinessesworkingtogether See more

24.01.2022 There are many reasons why you should get out of bed today and here’s just a few. When I walked outside on this very chilly morning, I couldn’t help but want to crawl back into my warm comfy bed. But when I looked around I was quickly reminded how beautiful this world is. Dewy drops glistening on the already blooming Acacia tree and it’s not even Spring. ... A sunrise so bright and the sky a happy blue, reminding me that warmer days are on the way. That I have the most incredible, supportive, beautiful family and friends that I punch myself every now and again to be sure it’s not a dream. One of these people that I must give a shout out, especially today, is to my mama. Happy birthday to the most kind hearted human I know. But to those that really struggled to get out of bed today, whether it be something as simple as it’s just too cold to get up or for those that struggle so much more. From the parents trying to home school their kids or not and that’s ok, or the teachers going to school knowing so many of the faces they adore won’t be there, to the people trying to save their business when 2020 has thrown more than a few curve balls, to family and friends that are yearning to hug their loved ones, to the people that have lost their job or had shifts cut back and are wondering how they are going to make ends meet, to people on their own and are feeling more isolated and forgotten than ever before, I hear you. So, on behalf of my mamas special day I’m reaching out to anyone that is just not coping right now to give them a reason to get out of bed. If this is you, please stop by my little van, I’ll have a hot drink waiting for you, a gift from me to you. Just mention Happy birthday Christine. And never forget that there is beauty everywhere. #beautifulworld #sunrise #youvegotthis #ittakesavillage #happybirthdaytomymum #bestfamily #bestfriends #beyondblue

24.01.2022 Hi friends, right now I’m trying to find that balance between, work, kids at home and about to move house (don’t worry, we’re not going far and Franklin will still be at his usual spot in Rokeby). So I felt that a change of days that I work had to give. As of today, the days Franklin will be out at Rokeby is Monday’s, Wednesday’s and Friday’s from 8:30am to approx 12:30pm (weather depending). We will also do the occasional Saturday or Sunday again, depending on the weather. ...#family #familylifebalance #movinghousesucks #gonnaneedalotofCOFFEE See more

22.01.2022 Sorry Franklin friends, it’s just far to wet to be out today. We will try again tomorrow.

20.01.2022 Sorry peeps, with the weather forecasting to be wet this morning, Franklin won’t be venturing out today.

19.01.2022 It seems little Franklin isn’t a Monday morning kinda van and doesn’t like to get his wheels wet. We got ourselves a little stuck in the mud this morning. Sorry Franklin fans, but this little guy won’t be out this week as the weather forecast is looking a little bleak. #mondayitis #stickinthemud #struggleisreal #bloodyvictorianweather #bogged

19.01.2022 It is going to be a glorious day tomorrow out at Rokeby. Franklin and I will be out in the morning, so why don’t you come by and say hi and treat yourself to a cuppa and some delicious baked goods made by local caterer Ali from Alimentos.

19.01.2022 Good morning friends, Franklin won’t be out this week, I underestimated just how much we had to do with moving house. We will be back at our spot in Rokeby next week. I look forward to seeing all your smiling faces then.

08.01.2022 Hi everyone, You may recall that our March Rokeby market included a fundraiser for the #nationalbreastcancerfoundation run by our dear friend Kate Craig.

A big thank you to the following businesses that contributed and or donated to this cause. #sugarbychan #cakesby_g Treat It #swigcoffee

01.01.2022 Sorry friends, Franklin won’t be out today.

01.01.2022 I hear the coffee is worth getting out of bed. #happydays #TGIF

01.01.2022 It seems Franklin has friends in higher places. He will be back on board tomorrow at the Rokeby Reserve but just down towards the hall end until the top end dries out.

01.01.2022 We are out for a little bit today, come by and say hi whilst you go for your walk. We have some delicious hot jam donuts, macaroons and white chocolate and raspberry muffins running out the door. #familytime #enjoythelittlethings #beautifulgippsland... #deliciouscoffee See more

01.01.2022 We are in for a beautiful day out at Rokeby tomorrow! We will be set up at the Rokeby Reserve, gateway to one of the most beautiful walking tracks in Gippsland at the Rokeby Rail Trail. So do yourself a favour and gets some exercise on this family friendly track but make sure you have non slip shoes as we’ve had a bit of rain lately and the track can get boggy! Then after your walk, why not treat yourself to one of our beautiful coffees. ... Franklin and the Bean use Swig coffee beans from a local roaster in Yarragon, marvellous macaroons made by a local business in Drouin called Treat it, hot jam donuts and delicious home made muffins from Alimentos catering of Neerim South. #supportinglocalbusinesses #beautifulgippsland #familyexercise #familytime #neerimsouth #yarragon #drouin #coffee #hotjamdonuts #macaroons #muffins
