Hi all
We probably never envisaged celebrating our 40th wedding Anniversary quite this way but it has been very special!
What better way to start than having Claire, Jessica and then Tommy jumping into bed with us on a cold Brisbane morning? It was then off to "Billycarts" at the botton of Belair Street for a great family breakfast - including Geoff and Tracey who were up from Canberra (no, not for us but for a wedding so it all worked out well) - again it was freezing and the cafe was packed but they did a great job and we had a terrific time.
We left Brisbane about 11 and had a good run to Stanthorpe where we stopped for lunch and then headed for Armidale.
Found a new feature on the car - going over Ben Lomond with the sleet, fog, low cloud etc had the sound of an alarm going off - what's wrong?? -- Found "ice alarm" showing on the dash with little snowflake symbol and flashing the temperature - 3.5! Needlesss to say toilet stops were brief! Felt sorry for all the poor sheep and cattle looking misrable in the paddocks but everything is green and looking lush.
Arrived in Armidale at 4.30 which was pretty good going - and the temp had reached 6. Looks like another "booking.com" success - beautiful motel with freshly cooked biscuits given to us on arrival, beautiful setting on the edge of town away from the highway and lovely room. Anniversary dinner is to be vegetable soup and wedges delivered to the room at 7.00. Perfect. "Moore Park Motor Inn" is recommended. Took a freezing walk around the magnificent grounds before dusk but lovely warm room and huge fireplace in the dining room awaits us for breakfast apparently. My stays in Armidale in Uni days were never like this!
Heading for Polkolbin tomorow - wneries here we come.
Photos attached will be us at sexie coffie yesterday, breaky with the family this morning and the grounds at Moore park - beautiful!
