What do 150 Arum Lillies look like?

 

At last I can download the pictures I took with my phone on the day I sold bunches of gorgeous Arum Lillies at Gordon Markets.  We picked the Arum Lillies at my sister's property on Saturday night so they were fresh for the Sunday Market. They got LOTS of attention!

 

I had to guard the Arum Lillies as people would touch the petals to confirm that they were'nt fake!

The modest Rose puts forth a thorn,

The humble sheep a threat'ning horn:

While the Lily white shall in love delight,

Nor a thorn nor a threat stain her beauty bright.

Can't forget the candles!

Road trip to Orange

During the school holidays we went to Orange to visit my sister.  I had been promising to visit her for quite some time. So my mother, daughter and I made our way westward over the Blue Mountains. We fortified ourselves with coffee, hot chocolate & cake at Wentworth Falls Village - I never miss an opportunity to enjoy the Blue Mountains!

We were warned that it would still be very cold in Orange... but were greeted with balmy spring weather (the cold snap and snow hit a week after our visit).

Orange surpassed my expectations! Its such vibrant & attractive town with the friendliest people!



We stayed in a 100 year old country cottage

On the way back to Sydney we stopped at the gorgeous historic town of Millthorpe.With a much needed coffee in hand strolled the streets admiring heritage buildings, charming houses and cottage gardens.

 

 

 



Can't wait to visit Orange again!
