Nundle

Whilst Nundle holds a great deal of charm for me, as the place where i get to meet and catch up with all the lovely women who attend the girls day in the country (GDITC).

It is also a lovely little country town with alot of other charms as well........


 The whole township is surrounded by hills and it is like being nestled in a cozy little nest
(although i hear it gets pretty cold in winter)



Mount Misery restaurant, great food and a great place to catch up with friends


the mine shaft inside the Mount Misery restaurant, 

well worth a look and if your into knitting their wool is lovely
i have a beanie in the basket, in progress, for my youngest daughter


Odgers and McClelland, exchange store,
 i LOVE shopping here they have the most gorgeous kitchenware, fine tea s and lot's of other lovely bit's and pieces. A trip to Nundle would not be complete for me without 
 a shopping excursion to this shop,
 this year a scored some Linen tea towels, some pie weights and a wine bottle stopper, excellent for not letting the bubbles out of the Bubbly......
although a few very cheeky people in my life reckon i only go there to get a new broom......
of course it's the only way to fly........

a great place to sit and have a cuppa,


I would love to thank 
my Family, who had to proof read and approve the first post
and my friends 
Carly and Jo 

for all the positive comments and the welcome to the blogland.
i commented to Peg happy in quilting that i thought this was
 "the beginning of a whole new adventure"
her reply was  that " i had no idea....."

so to here's to new adventures

Blogland is fantastic! For me it has opened up a whole new world and some wonderful friends. Like chookyblue I don't have a sewing group so it is great to catch up with likeminded people.

Toorale homestead - Louth

We set off from Bourke  , we had stayed the night at Kidmans camp , which was a lovely spot and headed off south to start the Datling River run. For the first few hours we didn’t see any river as our first destination was  TooraleHomestead The drive in was pretty good , lots of dust and a little bit of corrigation but really quite good  We seen some wildlife including an eagle  Bit blurry as it was taken through the windscreen of the car ,  Some Emu’s and kangaroos  The homestead itself is closed to the public except during school holidays ,so we didn’t get to go in but , we knew before we arrived that was the case and I was keen to see it anyway. Sir Samuel McCaughey in partnership with his Brother John and cousin purchased Toorale, Nocoleche and Dunlop station. Acquiring 800 000 acres of land and 130 000 sheep and 80 horses.  Eventually Samuel bought his brother and cousin out. He built the homestead in 1896 as a wedding gift to his niece. The golden years for the homestead were betw

Scrappy chook quilt

So I have been keeping this one under wraps, not on purpose mainly just because I have been a very lazy blogger. A few months ago, as most of you know I had a visit to chookyblue's place, whilst there I had the pleasure to sleep under some of her gorgeous quilts. But one in particular took my fancy I just loved the scrappiness of this quilt, the lovely colours but mainly just the simple design. So when I headed up to Nundle for my retreat, I sent the lovely Kerry a photo and she assured me she could pull together some lovely fabrics and guide me, to put this lovely quilt together. When I arrived at Nundle This lovely bundle of fabrics awaited me The girls and I used the black and white feature on the iPad to determine light medium and dark fabrics I spent 3/4 of the first day creating these squares, I think I frustrated Miss Joolz because I just could not be random, I had to be organised I didn't want to get end and end up wit

Burren junction - Brewarinna

Beds on Barwon We left Newcastle at a reasonable time on Friday morning not gadgets ( my husband) usual 4am start and headed west.  We really never planned this trip out as such we vaguely decided that sitting by a river with a fire was our plan , a chance to take a deep breathe and slow down our lives for a bit. Almost 13 years ago we were extremely fortunate to do the darling river run with some wonderful friends and thought that we would love to repeat that trip and hopefully see the Darling river with water this time.  However at this stage our plans are a little up in the air with the road to Louth currently closed due to rain and some of the national parks closed for the same reason. Soo where are we heading , not sure but wherever we are heading it will be an adventure. So on day one we drove to Burren Junction where we spent our first night of our adventure at a truck stop  This is our new travelling Duo Reggie ( car) and Ruby ( van) we decided last year it was time to say good
