A 3 day visit to Carcoar

 A wonderful, relaxing time with some of my favourite people in the world.

Highlights

• Soul nourishing chats with Dom during the car trip there and back.
• Listening to the story of Tina's early life.
• The gorgeous animals. I love them all. Gypsie and Mellie the dogs. The chicken who comes into the house. The beautiful cat. The gorgeous horse and his two sheep side kicks.
• Watching the movie Sovereign. Rather bleak story but amazing acting.
• Some amazing meals at Ruths, cafe, pub and Lebanese restaurant on the way home.
• Doing a thorough clean, sweep and tidy before I went.

Weekend away at Wolseley, Ceres and Tulbagh with Heather and Russell

A super weekend in the country with Russell and Heather.  

The Fynbos Farm was a wonderful place to connect with many beautiful animals and birds like donkeys, llamas, zebras, goats, pigs, rabbit, emus and peacocks. The owners, a very friendly gay couple, are very spiritual and have built a meditation chapel and a labyrinth. Walking the labyrinth was a very special experience, it really does quieten the mind.

On Saturday, Russell and I went to climb Matroosberg but we gave up after a couple of hours because of rain and wind.  We went to pick cherries in Ceres instead.

On Sunday, we went for a lovely swim in a local waterfall and then explored Tulbagh. The highlight was trying a local restaurant's very adventurous ice cream flavours like wasabi.
