We went to the Wine bar last night. Here is a quick shot of the lovely Robyn, it was a perfect day but suddenly the skies opened out for a big rainy afternoon. Luckily it didn’t stay too long but it was nice to be out and about even though it was a little wet!
We went over to the Rag and famish for a yummy gourmet Pie dinner. If you haven’t tried their pies before I’d surely recommend it. They are delish!! Gob smacking d’lish! and then on to Maisys for a cup of good latte with sticky date pudding. Mmmmmm!
This was a rather quick and hurried shot but I love this one. Its truly portrays Robyn’s beautiful personality.
Berrima also has quite a few giftware shops and galleries along Jellore Street right off the Berimma Post office. Being on a strret a little of the main patch of the small town it can easily be neglected. We’ve been to Berrima many times and have never explored these little hideouts. Among these Bowral Antiques, A Touch of Brass and Berrima Village Pottery definitely stand out from the crowd. It was getting a little hot and the sun was right overhead so we decided to head back to the car but going past the little park opposite the The White Horse Inn we notice some men in medieval clothing. Good God! 
We hopped on the car and drove up the hill on old Hume highway.
Next stop Berkelouw Book Barn and Coffee House. Another little stop. Most things look amazing when they’re around a vineyard — Berkelouw Book Barn certainly did. We paused for a little wander and a breath of fresh air and D coudn’t resist a supply of fresh scones and jam. In fact it was very timely of Google to reveal Australia’s culinary underbelly — and it isn’t wrong!
I sometimes wonder is it a fact that I like the ‘idea of‘ buying books more than reading them! Hmm but had to go with my gut feeling and get “100 Things we loved about the 20th Century” by David Dale. I do like his writing and he has this uncanny way of delivering dry humour every so nonchalantly that it often tickles my funny bone!
Soon we were driving down Bong Bong Street in Bowral and then onto Devon Cottage in Burragoo which was going to be home for the next few nights.
Last Saturday despite the cloudy forecast we had woken up to lovely crisp blue sky morning. We packed our bags and drove off to the historic town Berrima located in the picturesque valley on a bend of the Wingecarribee River.
The drive along the M5 was mostly smooth and amazing how much faster you can go when the traffic just flows. We coasted along and every now and then passed through some little hills and valley. It wasn’t a total cloud free blue sky by this stage but considering a few hundred kilometres up the coast we were experiencing a mild cyclone a cloudy sky was nothing to whinge about. We reached beautiful historic Berrima on dot at 12 for a nice scrumptious meal. Starving that we were by this stage!
