Kurrajong

To those who would soothe their shattered nerves, revive their jaded spirits, regain their vibrant health and vigorous appetite, to all who would seek the tonic of pure air and the exhilaration of beautiful scenery, the call of Kurrajong is simply irresistible."
W.S. Arnold Superintendant of Soldier Settlement Scheme

And so on Sunday, thre girlfriends met for lunch on a perfect Spring day with a wonderful view, great conversation fine food at a reasonable price and a little knick-knack exploring. 


Just over half an hour's drive from my place along the approach to the Blue Mountains is Kurrajong. Once a soldier settlement, site of the first exploration across the blue mountains and now a tiny village dotted with cafes and curiosity shops and surrounded by the lush green and emerging purple of exquisite Jacarandas -  we whiled away Sunday afternoon.

Yep, I did go a bit apeshit with Schparkly things

We loved these mirrors but just a bit exe

Not a fan of antiques but there's always some curiosity

Although I am in need of a new dining table and chairs

 

These just looked pretty - Glad their owners didn't get buried in them

Apologies for the lack of blogging, I'm not feeling much in the mood these days so will post whenever I have something to show and tell, probably more of Paris.  Creative Infanticide is still alive and well and Tenth Daughter of Memory is coming along nicely if you have a competitive edge or who enjoy short fiction, so slip on over whenever you're in the mood.
