Gismo Queen and her King

Canberra - Saturday 6 July 2019

The day dawned grey and cloudy but we didn't come to Canberra for the weather. After our mornning cuppa in bed, we decided to have breakfast at the farmers market which is only 200m from our campsite. It's a very good farmers market, with good variety of high quality food and a diverse offering. We're now at the point where we are minimising our fresh food as we can't take vegies on the boat next weekend so weren't in a position to buy anything, but it was interesting. There was also a range of ready to eat food - but no egg and bacon rolls! We enjoyed some dumplings (strange choice for breakfast, and not as good as our Dubbo winery/campsite, but yummy) and then a pie.


After downing all of that, we headed to Doug and Ruth's new place. Ruth was outside just as we arrived so let us in through the underground carpark which is where Doug was. We hadn't seen their new house before, but because we came in at the carpark level, our tour started with their private garage and the piece de resistance - Doug's new wine cellar. It's amazing, and quite beautiful. He has done a really good job.


We spent the day with them, checking out the new house, catching up on news, playing with the kids - it was really nice. Neill and Jude came over to join us all for dinner, a delicious roast. A great end to a really lovely day.
