We have some friends arriving tonight for the long weekend. They’re making the trip from Sydney and Melbourne and we are excited – big time. Two of them happen to be Alice’s godmothers and she is beside herself. So, Elise, Sam, Simon and Eddie – this is our plan for you: we’re going to kick off by visiting Tim and our stand at the Orange Region Farmers Market on Saturday morning, then home for lunch and an afternoon in Canowindra. Maybe a little shop at the beautiful Bendy St Emporium, two doors up we’ll have a drink or two at Swinging Bridge’s new cellar door and then red wine and venison pies by the fire that night. On Sunday we’ll head to the Old Convent Cafe for lunch and maybe if it’s not too cold, a bonfire that afternoon.
Have a great long weekend everyone, and if coming to Orange – bring your beanies! Monday is a public holiday so once everyone heads home I might…
