A short break away to.....

celebrate our 41st wedding anniversary is what hubs and I have been up to for the last 3 days.    We decided to mark the occasion by heading up to our favourite mountain town Leura and checked into the Fairmont for a few days of luxury and pampering.   On our day of arrival we had summer and enjoyed strolling around the village

Checked into our hotel and enjoyed a swim in the pool

Walked around the lovely grounds enjoying the gardens

Had a pre-dinner nibble and drink in our courtyard

Day two we woke early and headed off to the Three Sisters before the crowds arrived to be greeted by a rather heavy fog

After walking around the area we headed back to our "digs" for a swim, then breakfast and by that time the fog had lifted.    The same Three Sisters - minus the fog - taken from Scenic Railway.

By now the sun had come out and we enjoyed wandering around country lanes

Met up with one of the local lads whilst he was enjoying the view from his room

By this time the weather had turned from summer to what could be described as"mild winter" with drizzle so we headed back to the hotel and enjoyed a glass of champers inside the room instead of in the courtyard.

The drizzle kept up all night and we woke to this

After many visits to the mountains over the years we always go prepared with clothes for all seasons and brollies.  

While away I also took the opportunity to call into some quilt shops and I bought a lovely piece of fabric to make myself a messenger style bag.    Hopefully I will get that done by the end of the week and be back with some piccies real soon.  

In the meantime happy sewing.
