Christmas in July

Hi lovelies,

Another fabulous day.

Today I got up around 6am, and it was a little warmer than yesterday’s -4.  No frozen pipes or crunchy mats and shoes.

When I poked my nose out of the van there were these lovely skippies having their breakfast. 

 A lovely view.  There was the odd gust of nippy wind so I did not stay outside too long.

This morning we headed into Cooma to grab a part from the hardware store. 

Surprisingly there was a market on at the same time.  What could we do but wander around.

We got some award winning honey from a local supplier.

 

I managed to grab a beanie from the local CWA stall, and Robbie grabbed one from the Cancer Council Stall. 

Then a trip to the tourist centre to get some info on going to the snow fields.  That then lead to a trip to the ski hire store where we got fitted out for some fun in the next few days.

There were lots and lots of people heading back to from the snowfields.  The traffic was more than we have seen in a long time.

 

It was then a short drive to Bredbo to find the Christmas Barn.

This place is amazing.  I really do not have adequate words to describe it. 

 It must be the happiest place to work.   

They were playing carols and burning Christmas scented candles.   

The store is open from July 1 to December 23 each year and they were so busy with not just visitors, 

but locals getting their Christmas decoration themes organized early.

It was so hard to be reserved about what to purchase, but we both managed to get something to remember our visit there and Robbie eventually dragged me out.

We took so many photos and videos that Robbie has put them all together on our youtube chanel.  Click here to view it.

We would like to introduce you to “Breezy” who is set to become our mascot as we breeze around on our adventures.

It was then time to head back to the van.  We caught a glimpse of lots of sheep

of some lambs

 and wooly cows on the road. 

 The cows could not care if cars had to wait for them to decide if they would move off the road or not.

We again saw snow on the hills on the drive home.  

 

 

This afternoon was supposed to be a fishing afternoon, but the wind is not longer gusty, but flat out gales. So it was reading and resting.

Stay safe and keep enjoying life.

Love us.
