    Sounds like you’re having an amazing time. Envious of the weather - rain and cloud here for the foreseeable but they’ve forecast snow in some places nearby at weekend. Looks like it’s going to miss here - hope they’re right :beer:

    Enjoy the rest of your time there :beer:

    Glad you're having a lovely time in one of my favourite parts of the world, much as I love my native Cumbria. Love Sydney so much.
    Its getting cold here and the fells have a lovely cap of snow in places, Cockermouth Taste Festival was lovely at the weekend and I thought of you as I ignored the expensive jams and fudges but indulged in bread, cheeses and smoked meats to bring home, and one huge plate of home-made meat and potato pie that fed three of us for lunch.

    Last full day in Sydney, to be spent packing and a Christmas meet up to say goodbye. I have had a wonderful break , some good weather and for the first time in 7 years will be spending Christmas with no illness .

    My DGS has had an accident whilst I have been away , he cut his chin open and had to have it glued up. I am so looking forward to seeing them.

    Australia is a lovely place but good old Blighty is home .
