Southern Highlands Sojourn

Good evening one and all,

Heading to MossVale today so up and at em, pretty miserable day but we are travelling so not a worry. Started to drizzle and the temperature is dropping - oh dear lots of layers and even pulled out my scarf. The trip from Goulburn to Moss Vale is pretty and all the trees are gorgeous even in the rain. Small villages abound with antique shops, art galleries and cafes.

First stop is Bundanoon, cold and wet. The Main Street is cute but nothing riveting until we find the "Garden Cafe" and go in wet and miserable for coffee and scones. One plate of scones were enough for two of us . Home made raspberry jam and gorgeous scones in front of a heater in lovely chairs packed with cushions and the best coffee of the trip, la casa del caffe, brilliant.







On to Moss Vale and a drive through Sutton Forest with the best fruit and veg shop - gross lise tomatoes, pistachio halva, baklava and a huge variety of mushrooms, olive bread, yum yum.  Because it is so wet and cold. Home to Moss Vale Village Park, set up, close down and on with the airconditioner and the heat packs - freaking freezing.  Again an afternoon of reading, tv and iPad. No tea tonight just too full.
