Lovely weekend in Berry

We had the loveliest weekend in Berry with Fiona and David. It was a birthday treat for Fiona and we were invited to join them. We ate the most amazing meals (too much of course) and had a great time checking out the shops in Berry and even fitting in a bit of stitching. Bruce had his lovely camera and took some great photos which I have borrowed. Fiona and I especially enjoyed a long visit to Sew and Tell, which is an embroidery and now wool and fabric shop in the main street.

We ate lunch and morning tea at the Sourdough Bakery which was very good. Dinner on Friday was a treat as we sat outside in a sheltered part of the restaurant with blankets and shared the most delicious Asian meal.

Here is some Berry colour.

Here we are on the verandah at the back of the house.

We didn't actually sit here and stitch for long but it made a nice photo. We are both working on our Vignette stitching.

This was another lovely spot to sit with such colourful cushions.

On the way home we had lunch in Kangaroo Valley and wandered around the town and into the shops there too. The husbands were very patient!

Aren't these little hats cute?

Thanks, David, for organising such a special weekend.

A very busy weekend

We headed down to Batemans Bay on Friday to attend the 25th anniversary of the opening of Sunshine Bay Public School. Our girls went to this school for all their primary years and had a wonderful time. I taught there casually and worked with the P and C and seemed to be there for some reason or other on many days. Our girls both enjoyed their years there. Before the Friday night "do" we sat on Denhams Beach and enjoyed the view and the lovely weather.

There was an assembly at the school and this lovely cake. It was a copy of the one they had 25 years ago, I am told.

The assembly brought back many memories of my girls in the choir and of singing the school song and saying the creed.

The courtyard was as pleasant as ever and we shared morning tea and lunch there.

We then headed towards Sydney as our nephew James and his lovely Sarah were being married on Sunday afternoon. On the way we HAD to stop and Berry so I could look at Sew and Tell, which is a wonderful embroidery shop and now has wools too and giftware. Well worth a visit. Here are a few pictures of Berry, which is such a lovely place.

I'd like to stitch this house.
