A little country road trip was on our dance card for yesterday for hubby and I. The reason was to have lunch and celebrate my lovely mate
FIONA'S milestone birthday.
We chose the town of Forest Hill.
We had lunch at the Post Office Cafe which was delicious and ohhh the coffee was so pretty! Lots of lovelies to admire during lunch as well.
After lunch we went for a bit of a wander and took in the history of the place....lovely old pubs and bank complete with window bars!
I also took the opportunity to snap some art reference photos to keep on hand..love rust! On the other side of that mural was a quilting shop that was closed by the time yours truly realised there was one....oh well just means another visit lol!
A little mischief is always in order....especially after all those candles *wink!
We found these two in the park....
Such nice company. Happy birthday my friend.....loved our day!
Hubby decided to go home through a neighbouring town with a few detours.....he cannot resist a sign indicating a dam or lake or a "scenic" lookout either......so we detoured!
Lake Dyer was a bit underwhelming due to sadly, the low levels of water....
Lots of pelicans enjoying what was there.
Then off to Cunningham's Crest lookout......this is the lake from up there!
It was a lovely spot and great views.....I loved all the grass trees!
The story of the area is on the sides of the steps at the lookout.
Beautiful sculpture greeted you at the bottom.....
So I have to admit a very nice and interesting detour!
I did get to bring home my Circles quilt from Fiona.....Gorgeous! Love it! I will share some photos later.
Thanks for hanging in there and letting me share a very nice day!
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
