RE: Sunday in the Blue Mountains : Getting eclipse ready, markets and food, glorious food.

Well done! I love a good travelly-food write up! Brings joy into my life!

We live in Wollongong and always enjoy a trip up to the Mtns when we get a chance. The last time we were up there, was on our way through to Mudgee to visit my Dad for his 60th. Fun night!

Actually, one of the most memorable times was when we stayed up at YHA in Katoomba and drove out to Shooters Hill to chase some snow! It was amazing!! That about 2 years ago. Australia looks so weird under snow, I must say.

Cheers,
Nick

@nickmorphew Cheers man! I really appreciate the awesome comment!

Haha Oz does look a bit out of place under snow and I think that's what makes the locals go nuts.

I remember that snow up here 2 years ago! We had just moved up and the BM Social Page on FB was going nuts reporting snow sightings etc and locals were recommending using the Real Estate signs to ride down the hills on 😂 I seriously contemplated taking ours down and giving it a whirl 😁😁

We have family in the Gong! We're actually out there a few times a year for things. Its great to switch from the mountain view to the sea view.

The sand I use in my work is from Wollongong so are the shells 😊 You make me wanna come down and visit.

Hah!

Small world! It's so funny that you remember that time as well. I remember the first teeny tiny snow flakes hitting the windscreen as we drove through Mount Victoria on our way down to Shooters Hill. I remember telling my partner how you know it's snow and not rain - it bounces off the screen instead of splatting.

Your artwork looks beautiful :) - especially with those lovely flowers you have just behind them.

All the best,
Nick
