Early morning country drive...


I was given a lovely surprise this morning for our wedding anniversary. Biggsie told me to wake early and get ready for a drive in the country to the markets. We were up at 5.30am and off for a family drive the back road up to Mt Tambourine. Just driving up the mountain through the rainforest with the windows down was so beautiful and refeshing. It was quite fresh and nippy so we grabbed our jumpers and continued on. We passed a couple of garage sales (which always gets my heart racing) and looked at the amazing view from the top of the mountain and arrived at our destination. The Country Markets... after a quick look through, we headed straight for the food area under the gum trees. Biggsie sat me down and went and got me a bacon and egg toasted sandwich and a fresh juice (apple, carrot, ginger and beetroot). And after he finished his asian brekky omlette he bought a plate of poffertjes and a latte for me as well. We then found some sun to warm up and bought some crisp stanthorpe apples, lady finger bananas, avocados and yellow box honey. Jack enjoyed the farm animals and Biggsie found a stove top espresso machine that he had been looking for.
After the markets we had fun exploring the country roads and discovered a garage sale (unfortunately it had sold all the decent stuff) but had fun looking at houses and gardens that we wouldn't have seen if we hadn't got off the main roads and explored a bit. There was a few more stops for avocados from stalls in front of peoples homes and then some watercress and free range eggs.
Oh and the bakery for some fresh bread for lunch.
We had such a lovely day together. Then when we got home, I got a new camping chair as well. I felt very spoilt.
