It is pouring with rain when we wake. Predicted but disappointing. We decided to make an early start and were off southwards by just after 8. Breakfast to be had somewhere south.
After about an hour and half we stopped at a Cafe in a small town in Milton and had toast, eggs and coffee. By the time we set off again the weather had brightened and we decided to drive the Southern Scenic Route. Lots of driving but worth it. It was very windy with the start of Cyclone Gita.
We arrived at our Airbnb about 6pm. Upson Downs Farm. 500 acres, sheep and some cattle, run by Phillip and Rebecca. We were shown our room for the night a converted shed which was made for farm workers in the 1950’s. Nice.
we were shown round the farm by 4 wheel drive, assisted by middle daughter Kate (about 8). Very interesting.
we then were ready for dinner which we shared with Phillip, Rebeccca, Kate and youngest daughter Georgia.(7).. who also showed us her 3 lambs and her horse! Lovely roast lamb and we shared some of the beer I bought and they shared some wine. A very easy couple to chat to and a super evening.
We the retired to our shed and the sunset. Nice evening with a lovely family.
Well I guess we all have our upson downs but I guess that’s better than labouring in vain.
