My Birthday picnic















Yesterday, 11 October, my family took me to the Blue Mountains for a picnic.
The Leura garden fair was on so we stopped by a took a look at the stalls and had a great time. The main street is blocked off for the fair so you can wonder tru and enjoy the stalls. We also visited an open garden called "Everglades" a magnificent garden designed by Paul Sorrenson back in the Art Deco period. The property is now owned by the National Trust so is in good hands for us all to enjoy. I have included some photos of our day in the garden which include the Tulips in flower, Azaleas and Lilacs, a view of the Grose Valley from the back of the garden which takes your breath away. And a few others for your pleasure.
We then stopped and had a picnic lunch on the way home at a park at Wentworth Falls. A place I used to take the kids on school holidays, which doesn't seem that long ago. How time flys.
