We lunched at Gilberts in Mittagong - baked vegetable loaf and feta with salad.....really good! Though it was getting late by the time we finished all the 'catching up 'chat, we found time for me to show them the Highlands School, the goats and new calf (born just 24 hours previously), all of which I write about so often here.
From there, we drove down the road to the new Renwick development (also much written about here), and looked through all the display homes. We were suitably impressed with the latest in modern housing, except that all shower recesses were deemed too small by Ewen! Oh, and there had to be 2 basins in the en suite, not just one! We each agreed on the same home as our favourite...very modern but homey.
It was a most pleasant day and I thank them both for driving all the way from Canberra....not to omit the flowers and Ruth's yummy chocolate brownies!! Two down, six to go!!

It was the best fun! I just loved seeing all the places you write about and those gorgeous goats and brand new calf - so adorable. You live in such an idyllic location. The display homes were an added bonus - so amazing and so cheap compared to here! We must not leave it so long before our next visit. You're looking soooo good - hard to believe you had knee surgery so recently. You'll be back running before you know it. Hope we catch up again very soon. xxx
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a good day, Ruth!
DeleteI loved the deck/bbq areas and small back yards of those houses, but yes, hopeless showers!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to hear of your birthday get-together with Ewen and Ruth. Lucklegs, you are famous among Ewen & Ruth's running/blog mates. Happy belated birthday from those of us who feel like we know you even though we don't personally :)
ReplyDeleteYou all look remarkably healthy and happy
