Xmas in Carcoar

A wonderful Xmas in Carcoar full of highlights:

• Relaxing trip up by train and home by coach. I really enjoyed both journeys.
• Staying 4 days (24th - 27th Dec)
• Our core group: Me, Tina, Ruth, Dom, Larry, Eugence, Shorna and Garry (Eugene's delightful Irish friends)
• Lots of talk about movies and TV shows. We are all movie buffs so so much to discuss!
• An absolutely delicious Xmas eve meal of lamb and chicken. Shorna and Garry also shared their scrumptious vegan fare.
• Xmas lunch under the apple tree at Shalom with a beautiful group of locals and visitors from overseas. The perfect venue.
• Lots of beautiful doggies at Shalom.
• Driving to Bathhurst with Dom to pick up Matt (having a deep conversation) and when we couldn't see Matt at the station, realising we had driven to Orange instead which is in the opposite direction. Matt was very patient!
• Invigorating dips in Ruth's wonderful plunge pool.
• Bonding with Ruth's gorgeous dogs, Gypsie and Mallie.
• Sharing the song I created for Tina. She was so touched saying "I feel so loved."
• Sleeping in Ruth's "chateau" down the end of the paddock. I slept so, so well.
